Motors are generally placed at the top of systems built here mainly to keep them out of the way. In reality it doesn't really matter. I do often...
Can you give us a link to your controller board? And which wires are you referring to...? Stepper wires? End stops? E-shutoff? Parallel port?...
Click on the create a custom size tab. 8.5" square is considerably cheaper than 12" square.
I'm no expert on the electrical side of things but previous comments on questions similar to #1 are basically answered "yes but not well" as the...
Coming along nicely. :thumbsup: Can't wait to see it come to life...
Sorry, no. The double wide gantry plate uses inset wheels that ride in the interior channels between the legs of the C-beam. There is no provision...

Nice except you've done nothing to solve your Z-axis problem, you've only made it worse. Sure you have triangles between the towers but you don't...
Let's start over. You have never actually stated the problem you are trying to overcome. Yes, you want more tension, but why? Tension is required...
That's why the stepper mount holes are slotted. Once you have fixed the ends, you can increase the tension in the belt by raising the steppers. Be...
I hope you've got normally open switches... If they are normally closed (push to open) like most E-stops they would need to be in series.
