    Question CAD Drawing Of XYLOTEX 3 Axis Drive?

    Anybody have CAD (DXF, DWG, IGES, STEP, STL, SLPT, 3DM, etc) file(s) of the Xylotex 3 axis boards? I'm not looking for high detail, just want to layout a box/container for a couple of drives and power supplies. Yeah I could do it but would save me some time if you've done it already and are willing to share.

    Even the single axis would be close enuf! I've got HayTays wiring diagram of 3 singles - but looking for 3D.
    Thanks in advance and, as always Jim

    Edit: Found it, here is a picture. Let me know if you would like it.

    Thumbs up Thanks For That --

    Regnar - While I was away from the 'zone ) I made a rough one myself. (Maybe shoulda' kept my hands off the keyboard - until I gave it a shot?!) see attached

    The external dimensions are pretty close - but I just needed representation for a box design too. How did your box turn out? Any pics of that?

    Thanks again!
    Jim

    No pictures because I haven't build the box. I am making a vertical pull out drawer that will be under the cnc router. I basically planned out where I needed to run wires and where to drill holes. I'm still working out a few things with the router design and should be looking at finishing it up in the next few months. I will post it here or you can watch my build @ Regnar's Build (Now with Video) I would be a lot further along than what I am at now but work and the heat outside take a lot of time away lately.

    Thanks for that! saw your gallery of the rest of the build - I can keep checking there on the box -- yeah - the Heat. Thats how I had time yesterday to try out the CAD myself -- so much better inside than outside residing the south wall. Still gotta git-r-dun before hurricanes arrive here in FL.
