Wobblycogs CNC Mk2

[JAZZCNC]

The Z-axis stepper has grown a bent metal box cover. I'll probably end up adding a hinged flap on the front at some point - there was a front originally but I realized would wouldn't be able to fit the stepper through the hole I'd left!

I would make the Z front plate just bit narrower than Rear plate and put a full cover over the z axis so it protects rails and everything.
Easy done with 1.5mm Ali sheet, just make a cardboard template and then cut around. Don't need fancy bender or saws just score profile edges with stanley knife, trim with tin snips into straight length then bend to break off.
Easy folded with simple scores on fold lines (back side.!!). The pics below show cover which was folded by hand without clamping to make a permanent template then unfolded, (see pic.). . . If you clamp the sheet on top surface before folding and fold on edge of board then makes a better fold.

Takes about 30mins to make.!!
