Ready Steady Eddy

I had to strip it down a bit today because there was still a BK and FK bearing to sort out, both had bearings in facing the same way and no grease, made shims, greased, reassembled.
More progress, ready to order some energy chain and start wiring and I'm very pleased the panel is already built.



Limit and home switch for Z axis, there is one switch and two strikers. For the home switches I mounted a piece of 6mm thick mild steel to aluminium angle to act as the target.



Motor mount for Y axis



limit switch and adjustable striker for Y axis, there's another striker at the other end of the gantry, so one switch with two strikers.

Ive been aware of this thread for a while, but tonight, only just read it.

Nice Design!!!. Must say, hats off to you much better than mine. I think every single thing I wished I did with mine you have done here... Proper Rails, I like the extra plate at the top of the Y carriage (making a figure 8) The X steppers inside the gantry (rather than sticking out). and the general quality of the build looks superb

Credit to you chap. Got to start thinking about my next build soon...

Thanks for that, but it was thanks to your initial drawing and design that really took me from floundering to finding a route through it.
