There is the DIY CNC mechanical assembly ‘done’. Had to do some extensive tweaks to compensate for the too big Y plates. Also the 2 X gantries weren’t /exactly/ the same size, so that involved quite a bit of filing and trying out.
But, it’s square, smooth, and ready for wiring mostly.
Looks good Mike… How tight do the 80/20 rollers feel?
@Nicholas_Lanham this is an ‘openbuilds OX’ kit, it’s getting quite popular…
WHERE DO YOU GIT THE OX KIT
Was wondering what rail system your using, doesnt look like makerslide. Machine looks good though.
@Core_Coder It looks like an 80/20 Inc rail component system Core, often used for quick construction and advertised as the “Industrial Erector Set” (if you are old enough to remember those 
) . Strong, light, easy to work and almost unlimited configurations make them great for prototyping.
http://www.8020.net/ is the primary website, but parts are also available through AdaFruit
http://www.adafruit.com/search?q=slotted+extrusion&b=1 and as kits http://www.adafruit.com/search?q=extrusion+kit&b=1, as well as other sources. Go to almost any industrial source company and search 80/20 or slotted extrusion and you will find it.
This is V-Slot, from openbuilds. The idea is to have matching wheels guided thru the T-slot path on each side, basically ‘grasping’ the extrusion. Does work pretty well I have to say
