small update.

X Ballscrews on... and connected to gantry using chai's bearing blocks... (although run out of m6 cap bolts, so ordered some here tomorrow) - incidently, that means ive used 200

pulleys done on X, was very suprised at how effortless the gantry moves when turning pulleys. I was initially worried the steppers wouldnt have the balls but the gantry moves very easily.

I was even more suprised to see, if I just turn one ballscrew the drive goes down the ballscrew across the gantry through the other ballscrew and turns the other pulley.... thats got to mean ive done something right?

there is a bit of track... if you hold one pulley and turn the other... I think ultimately I will connect them both with one big belt.

seperately... Ive managed to scavenge a electrical inspection box from the darkest dungeons of where I work.... perfect for all the electricary and can be mounted to the machine.



and.... cnc4you breakout board arrived today, along with the required extra steppers and a e-stop. CY cable also arrived from other supplier.

so, bit of luck may get a bit of ignition/fires on Sunday????? sooo excited.
