Thor, or should that be Zeus?

Started with the layout for the electrics. Ill mount onto a stainless plate most likely, this was just on MDF to get a feel for the size and get the basic X axis movement sorted.



A quick video, nothing is really calibrated but the motor seems happy to spin to 4000 rpm. Its a Panasonic 1.5KW motor and A4 drive powering it.

A number of hours later, some marking, measuring, drilling, fitting, wiring and we have the bulk of the electronics mounted.

isn't that panel a bit tiny for your machine? don't you want more room in case you missed something

Its 800 x 800. There is space to the right of the servo drives. I doubt much more will be needed, that is virtually all the electronics I need. The spindle drive goes to the top right, there is enough space for at least another 2 servo drives if I want to do more axis.

Thanks. Trying to finalise the based / gantry design now so I can I complete the moulds and start to pour concrete.

Where did you get your concrete from?

That is basically everything I need apart from a two relays. I'll be modifying the 24V distribution system a bit.
