A little bit more is done, My laser cut kit came in and the z car is welded.
And yes I did countersink the 2 holes. All and all everything seems to be square and level.... |

excellent start indeed!

more work done on control box, doing things right and pretty takes so long....
|

That part definitively takes the most time, doing electronics neatly, and then your vast box, will fill up quickly.

I know this box is huge 20x30" but I also know I space plan like crap,
not much is going in it but when I'm done it will be full. |

Old Gerald/Mechmate wisdom; your control box can never be too big .
|
#15

I can tell you I filled every bit of a 20 x 30 and then some with the inverter on the wall outside the box. Wire management is SO much easier when you can see everything.
Good luck. |

Nice. I'd hate to run into those beam ends while carrying a sheet of ply..
Wait till the gantry rolls the length of the table with a little push...great feeling, you're close to it. |

more progress
Well the frame is painted, and the sub rail for the linear rails is installed, now i am installing the linear rails.
I have a block mounted on the linear rail, the pins have a .022" gap and the wire is .016", center the wire and screw down the rail. should be with in +- .003 of straight. I have the wire insulated from the frame I'm playing with a ohm meter to tell when the wire is not touching the pins. |

Very impressive Jerry, nice linear install. Will be watching with interest.

Watching with interest... Still have my linear rails laying around here somewhere, running the diy v rails and so far no reason for the linear, but it was a 2day chore to make then v rails.. Youre saving that effort. I had similar approach in mind for the install.

My first car was a Moriss Minor painted verde matese from Alfa Romeo. Some examples: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=is...matese+alfasudAddress&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=BpSLVcS yLM3y7Abthb3wAg&ved=0CCoQ7Ak&biw=1278&bih=863#tbm= isch&q=verde+matese+alfa+romeo
It was useful over standard zinc-chromate paint Last edited by Gerald D; Wed 24 June 2015 at 23:42.. |
