Mike.
P.S. It makes me want to go build another machine |
Thanks Mike!
Backlash isn't too much of a problem when using timing belts and proper tensioning. I have not measured it yet and probably won't measure it till I get the tuning done on the axes. I don't suspect I will be doing any PCB drilling until spring time with it. At that time the other electronics I am designing for it should be done. At that time I will be posting more videos and other neat stuff about it - I hope! :-)
