Hi, I'm inclined toward clamping on the spindle body, its easier to implement & safest to use. Mounting on the ends isn't the best place as there is always the chance of bending the spindle's axis, no matter how slime the chance is... I sincerely hope the shiny bit is the the body & not a cladding...

Hi,
The supplier came back with the all clear sign. Its perfectly ok to clamp on the shiny part. Hope this help. Regards Ken |

Hey Ken,
thanks for the clear sign. I happy that way because anyway the shiny part of the spindle suits better with the shiny part of the holder ! Some nice graphics...which suit a nice MM! SNC00998.jpg SNC01000.jpg Greetings Claus |

You make me a little nervous; I am going away a little over the Xmas period and that is when you will want your serial number
Already your motors have turned, your control box is complete and you just need a few days for the cables and push-button boxes before we will see some dust. |

Some more work done so far.
I just wanted to show you the option for the Control Box attached to the frame. You can see some hinges where the control box is just hooked in. If there is some repair to do you can just lift it off and work inside ( not to break your back). SNC01007.jpgSNC01008.jpg And this is the latest pic. SNC01009.jpg SNC01010.jpg Greetings Claus |

That's a very nice progress you've done. I wish you have your MM up and running before 2010 BTW why you used such a long E-chain ? I think you could have used half of it. |

Claus,
Great progress! Love the light! Do you have any plan to have some sort of guard for the LEDs? Where will you place your monitor? |
#104

|

Hi Ken,
You can see the mounted lights in post 74.They`re really flat. Why do you think they need a guard? Is it for protecting reason? The Monitor and the PC will sty somewher besides the table near the 0,0,0. Greetings |

A small step for mankind but a big one for MM`ers. Another one is alive!
Ken, because you mentioned dust.....
This is the very first Virgin Cut. SNC01061.jpg Second one.... SNC01067.jpg Please also visit here and here for my first CUTS uncensored. It´s a great pleasure to share this moment with you guys and again to thank you for your support during my build. This experience was more than a build, it was learning a lot from a new domain and of course making a dream come true to have such a machine called my own. Gerald, thank you for making this possible, but more the joy, happiness and satisfaction you bring to everyone. Yesterday I felt like Dexter´s Lab, Jeckel and Hyde and Transformers together when I saw Beast moving.....Great feeling... ....it´s alive. |

Congratulation Claus, I know what it feels like because It was when my small engraver first made a little dust. I can image what it is like when you see such big thing moving on your command.
The fun just begins, you will have such feeling every day you will do your first masterpiece (every time). |
