Moving right along. I have the X and Y axis done as well. The saddle had to be machined out on both sides to fit the ballnuts and ball screws. Extensive modifications to the ballnuts were required as well.
Even with the modifications to the ballnut it's still a fairly close fit. I was also able to retain the set screws that secure the wipers in place.
After the saddle was modified I went to mount the bearing blocks. I ended up putting the Y axis bearing block on a slight angle. The stock mounting holes were going to overlap my new mounting locations so this seemed like the simplest solution. The X axis, I just flipped the table around so i wasn't competing with the original mounting locations.
I'm super cheap as well so instead of buying nice anti-backlash couplings, I made some solid ones.
Almost done.
Still need to get the belt connection on the Y axis complete, reinstall all the way covers, and I think while I have it apart i'll add some gas springs to counter balance the head as well as some home switches. More to come, so stay tuned.
