Got some stuff done this past week. I made an x axis stepper mount, made a spacer block for the y axis, and made a support for the z axis column.
The first few pictures is me making the x axis stepper plate. im gonna have to mill slots in the holes that mount to the x axis, because i didnt know the leadscrew is not centered with the table
next pics is the y axis stepper block made from mystery aluminum from school, lol. its thicker than i designed for, but thats good since it will give me more travel on the y axis. a plate for the stepper standoffs and a/c bearing holder will bolt onto that.
last pics is the support being made. this decreases the deflection in the z axis. befor i had ~15-20 thousandths of deflection and now its around 3 thou.!!!! dont look at the welds they are bad, haha; but strong so i dont care!
