Hello folks.
My printer is being shipped over the next couple days.
The Electronics are due here on thursday. I have watched all the videos and looked at the mods here and on rc groups. and there are a few things i want to do differently.

I actually watched Mark and Trish package the pieces and parts for my kit.... She held up a sign with the number 100 on it. Now how cool is that.

Anyways this will be the place i will do my build and impliment some of my own ideas.
I already have the full version of mach3 setup with the Phlatscript installed. And lots of gcode ready to go.

So when the bits get here, this place holder will show my progress !

ewo

 

Well i dont understand this. Looks like my electronics are in Miami scheduled for delivery at 10:30

Thats really kinda funny seeing as i live in Indiana

Now how do i post a picture?

Well i did recieve my electronics today from Hector. at Easy CNC.COM.
He made good on his promise to take care of what was admidetly his mistake. Thanks Hector !

My wife just called from work and told me the accesory items also arrived from Mark and Trish............ The Tracking for the bonez also shows delelivery should be today. How cool is that?

Anyways i just got up from my nap and made a short video of my steppers functioning the way theye should. Still cant shake this headach !

The video should be here ..................

 

ewo, glad you got your shipping troubles straightened out...have fun with your build...randy.

 

Nice job ewo! Its Alive!!
Keep up the good work
Mark and Trish

 

Hey guys, Thanks. It really is easier to hook up than i thought it would be. But i did watch the video a couple times and made shure my mach settings were right.

@ Kwok. Thank you for fixing my post abouve and for the lesson on how to do it myself next time. ..................

So now i have all three packages. I cant wait to start but i have to leave in the morning to work on my inlaws place. Im putting in a new furnace and ac.almost 400 miles round trip. :roll: i will be home sometime sunday night.

I will look the contents over tonight though. Hey Fozzy , I seen you got a start on yours, Wanna race?? Attached files

 

I have some mods in mine to. So the race is off

I actually watched Mark and Trish pack the parts for the Pieces box
I seen her hold this up to the camera..... Its not on the inventory list.

I wonder if i should open it or not, Might be a pipe bomb in there or something after all the grief i caused them :?


Just Kidding
Thanks Mark and Trish for the little goodie.

Well i kinda got ahead of myself.....I got up this morning and went to mount the dremel (one of the first steps in the build videos) I couldnt get the bolts on !
So i sat here looking at the thing and after a bit of head scratchin it came to me !

I drilled 3 small holes in the top of the gantry to allow the 2 rods and the all thread an easy escape.
Now i have an easy access to all the parts and even the stepper........

Im kinda glad now that i didnt follow the build instructions to the letter. Because it made me think about some of the other things i saw as potential problems down the road, Now all the steppers have easy accesse and i for-see no problems ever getting to any of the parts that may need replacement down the road..............

I did the same to the side of My MKI because I glued the sides on.

Cheers

Nah !!
When i put my 1/4" plugs in there , All will be fine

E-T , I wont be gluing the sides on !
But i am planning on some minor things before i finish.....
It wont be today after all........... :?
