Thanks @Helmi I guess no matter how detailed the initial plan, at some point something will always not be right when building it. So as long as...
Another small update; I have done this front panel to house x-y-z-a axis connectors so that I can connect them to the "control box". Next will...
Hi Justin, I can gladly share the specs of them but someone else did them for me so I need to find out first. They are really heavy (i mean...
Another small update; I have been working on adding 4 pin plugs to stepper motors for easier maintenance in the future. I plan to bring all...
OK another update: Finished the frame, the X and Z axis assemblies and stepper mounts. It has been a bit pain to fix the X gantry to Z axis as...

Made another animation (and changed the Z-Plate using the 4 wheels there instead of X) ;) [MEDIA]
