Thor, or should that be Zeus?

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.

This is on such an epic scale it almost ranks with Noah's Ark.

I think it has to be finished, there has to be a conclusion, at least a video of it cutting. Something a futuristic Time Team can search the archive for when they recover this behemoth intact from the apocalyptic, London ruins

Ye, ignoring the cash spent, also keen to just see if it works.

Managed to get some of the Z axis completed today but I need a large mill to square everything and get this completed.

A long shot, anyone near Uxbridge (I am willing to travel) that has a mill that I can use to get this Z Axis completed?

I need something that can do around 500 x 400 mm. I have access to a Bridgeport but no response from the person that offered. I just need to go around the rectangle and square up and do around 16 holes with some very basic code.

Thanks
