Here are some pictures of the first day of building. Sorry for the poor quality of the later ones, the battery in my digital cam ran out had to use my phone.
The one picture shows (althought very dark) the method i used for insuring the rails were straight relative to the 8020 frame rails.
I recieved the ball screws the other day now i have to try and turn down the ends of the y axis. The x axis is going to have a rotating nut. Due to its length of 9 feet rotating the screw was not an option. The pictures in the first post have some details on how i hope to achieve this. |
