Just arrived. 2, 12 ft 3030 beams…heavy stuff
I suspect your gonna build something nice with those. Its my hope that you will continue to post your progress.
Yes, I intend to. We’ll see how it goes
Did you get 15% or 25% off?
Openbuilds?
For those, I got them for what was listed on eBay. As it turns out, it was less than the 20% off that I was looking to get on the site, I think. But it still wasn’t cheap.
Not open builds, 8020
@Glenn_West You can see the Zoro tag.
Oh yea. I bought it from Zoro off eBay
My little CNC started off just the same. They could be brothers.
Yes, I’m hoping this will all be worth the effort & expense.
I’ve tried to be as cost conscious as possible without cutting corners. I want quality and rigidity.
I decided to make the Y rails 1400 mm rather than 1200 mm as I had some extra railing ( though the lead screws will still be only 1200 mm). It will make it the screws easier to mount (plus I will be able to cut off excess if needed/can’t add only subtract). The gantry & X rails remain the same as I’ve calculated the length of the x gantry rails (1152.4 mm) so they will reach the gantry plates, plus the height of the linear rails and blocks when they are attached to the side of the Y rails. The extra length of the Y rails won’t affect the table as the rails that support the table will each be reinforced with leg supports.
