WorkBee 1010 "Get Rid of the Slop" Build

My goals for this build were to eliminate slop and flex while also allowing easy serviceability.

    Would you care to share the dimensions on where you drilled the tapped holes on the angle plates to fit the 3 axis plates?
    I've been trying to plot the holes to tap the plates and I am finding that I am apparently dumb as a rock lol
    Admitting the problem is half the battle *sigh*..

    If you're talking on the Y riser plates, I didn't take measurements. I put a couple of screws in the bearing blocks to hold down the angle and then clamped the factory Y plates to the aluminum angle. I then pulled the screws out of the bearing carriages with the Y still clamped to the angle and used the factory Y riser as a template to drill my holes in the angle on my drill press. I did the same thing on the X/Z risers. Is that what you're asking about??

    Also, you're not dumb as a rock. I generated some scrap aluminum angle with holes in the wrong places too. I didn't show that part though... :)

    Yessir, that's exactly what I was asking about.
    Thanks for the response, guess it's time for me to hit harbor freight for some clamps! Lol

    Thanks for posting this. I had started with Jacobs linear upgrade years ago on the Y. Also added 1/2" lead screws (I have the belt workbee). Was pretty happy but always meant to getting around to upgrading the X and Z. My X belt needs replacing so finally getting around to adding a lead screw and linear bearings. As a matter of fact, I believe I have already cut out the x bearing brackets and have them in a box somewhere. LOL. I also ordered the taller Y plates and Z slider that I've been eyeing for a year. Anyhow, super simple upgrade it seems so thank you again for posting.
