Another Florida Build... LR3 #2

Thank you @DougJoseph Wouldn’t be anything without all the amazing help from here!!!

Going to have to back up and punt on the ruler. The pen kept getting hung up on the mount and would mess spots. Stopped it and removed the mount, then put 3 1/4" flat washers behind the pen mount and that freed it up a lot. but that also moved the pen slightly and messed it all up. Going to take a break and cool off for a few. Then going to go through the tramming process again and run a .1 or .2 surface on it to get rid of those marks and then run it again. the washers really freed up the pen movement so i think it will come out great this time around.




What do y’all usually run for the pen on Z? I set it with a piece of paper then ran -.5 on @jamiek script. Is that normal or should I be doing something different???

Magnet on the base mount and a 1 1/4" washer on the mobile mount. 2 magnets were too thick and it wouldn’t set right. Almost went back an printed your acorn style mount before I realize (and actually read instead of just looking at the pretty pictures) that he was running a washer. Quick trip to Ace Hardware and I was in business.

I’m really hoping something comes of the Probe and ill get a lot more use out of the mount than just the occasional Pen. Well I’ll get more anyways once I figure out how to do large scale vinyl on it LOL. Son and my Ex-Father-in-Law have a race car that needs more vinyl work than my Wife’s cricut can handle LOL
