    Nice and sturdy built! :thumbsup:
    That Z axis stepper looks like it could lift the whole machine and not loose a millimeter! :D

    Well, isn’t that gorgeous!

    What did you end up with for outside footprint dimensions?

    thx, rink.

    Im not sure on exact outer dimensions yet, at the moment it is looking like it will be about 1750 x 1300 with motors and the drag chain support rails.

    Hey Scott love the upgrades you made! Any chance you are selling these upgrades? If not I'd love to borrow your files, it would be a dream to incorporate some of these mods into my QB Pro, to aid with Cutting ferrous alloys. I just say your machine looks extremely rigid and absolutely professional.

    Looks great -- I am a thinking of building my first machine (I have a brother who has had several shopbot units -- now he has a 5footx10foot) -- Your size is what I was thinking I wanted (maybe 1500x1500 - max) -- I have a few million questions, any help you can provide would be great!

    1) the black end plates for the ball screws/steppers -- is that a stock part from somewhere? I saw the stainless plates were custom fab -- I presume you have some other equipment for things like that -- I do not
    2) What was your main board of choice -- I was thinking Acorn board (I might want a 5th axis for a rotary, but unsure) -- it seems you have 6 controllers installed, is that correct? Why?
    3) I was looking at Nema 24 motors, closed loop. I only plan to carve wood using a 2.2KW water cooled spindle --- Should I look at Nema 34s or are you looking at metal work (I see you have what looks to be an air blower in place vs a vacuum cover around the spindle)
    4) what software are you using -- I do a lot of things with lightburn today and my laser engraver -- I know that does not translate well to 3D stuff but I get some of the basics.
    5) your wiring job looks great! -- some of the main components were obvious to me (spindle VFD, Stepper controllers, main board, big power supply on the left) -- but you had a bunch of stuff on the DIN rail -- could you put up a pic and talk about that a tiny bit???

    Thank you for any guidance you can provide, sorry to be the new guy with a million questions -- Again -- looks like you are building my dream machine! Thank you again for posting.
