I started this build about 2 weeks after the c-beam hit the store. I purchased a single bundle and ordered a TinyG to run it. where I work I have Hardware, Software and Mechanical engineers and they all got sucked into my project. they want one to do prototyping at the office, once they see mine running. All the plates were hand cut with a chop saw on my 12" blade from home depot, and all the holes drilled on a craftsman drill press.
I have access to a design engineer who lives 8 hours a day in solid works and we collaborated on the design. once I get it all together the way I want it I will post the files. I got most of the last parts in the mail today and finished installing the 2nd Y motor and got all the axes moving with JCNC. I am using the dwalt dwp611 router
and the design uses the 1000mm for all axes. I had access to some free 7/16" aluminum plate so the gantry is built like a tank. we decided to build all the bearing plates as part of the assemble. Ill add more as I go.
