Part 2
Build a table for it. I had steel/mdf shelving in the basement before the flood. I kept the steel and reused it to make a very sturdy 4’ square table with 2x4s and an mdf top. Ordered the aluminum and steel I would need, and bought a blade capable of cutting non-ferrous metals. I picked up a cheap drill press as well.
I printed up correctly sized layouts of the gantry sides and z-plate and taped them to the piece of aluminium plate they would be cut from. Then went to cutting on the miter saw.
And drilled them
Long day and my dog got tired of waiting for me and hearing all the noise
