I'm also watching.
Not had much time to post much, as I'm gearing up for a few weeks of work chaos. Normal service should resume sometime next month.

Ditto to that comment! Following your thread with interest, thanks Chaz, please keep the posts coming.

Whilst some of the detail is sometimes beyond me (on all threads), the photographs make sense to me.

Ok, thought people had lost interest in the crap I was trying to do.

So, status update.

Z Axis plates arrived today, Ill try and machine them on the weekend. I need to mount the X rails, having some issues to solve around how to epoxy / glue the nuts in. Tried rawl bolts, been advised against them and they create spacing problems which I need to solve.

I dont have all the bits needed to complete and I still need to sort out limit / home switches etc but I'm feeling confident that I am not too far out now. The last phase has started to pick up momentum. That said, fair bit to do still, so lets see.

Lol. Thanks.

I have good advice that I can supply once I am done. The one liner is, if you are thinking of making something like this, dont. If you are still thinking of it, dont, and still, dont.

That said, it can be done and there are many things I would do differently, not in terms of design etc, but the way that I work and what tools / stuff you need to make this happen.
