Quite an Unusual one

[Boyan Silyavski]

At the end i managed to move further the build. Thanks to my new friend and fellow forum member Jeff Potter who helped me a lot with machining all aluminum pieces for me.

Now what happened:

-i bought some sound insulating stuff so i can make the garage quiet, so nobody bothers me in the future when i am working. I mean the tourists that come now in the summer and rent the houses around me



-tested this and that and at the end finished the prototype of the fog-less mister and tested it while milling the aluminum pieces for the Z



-tapped and started putting the Z box together , 5mm tap stem fits perfectly in the 6mm drill guide





-The rails were meant not to obstruct the back plate. the idea was to use the back plate as a guide to mount them perfectly flat and square





-mistake in the design. How the hell i was going to screw the ball screw nut supports. So i decided to cut a slot and at the end they will be screwed with 3 screws only.



-as everything was machined very precisely and as i helped Jeff make his machine work in 3D mode, all fit perfectly together


-the idea of the shortest front plate is if i lift and hide the spindle to its highest possible position inside the box, so i could reach and change tools without problems



-the Z looks like a bad ass missile warhead
