@vicious1 Is the tension okay? It feels too loose, but it does make a sound.
Yeah. Best to always stay on the loose side. A few test cuts of pen plots will verify tension easily. When you do the squaring you can verify the total length per belt.

First work done with the lowrider! It just sounds softer when moving, over are the times of the chatter in the middle. 
I have a 0.22mm difference between the two sides on Z, I think I can live with that. The other axis’ seem to be on point, though I could only roughly measure.

Gold was empty 3 minutes before the end after 5h21m… Ugh. Now the front is black, the last 2 layers…
Thanks for the design @DougJoseph.

Cool! If you get a chance, also post your make on Printables!
Re: the black on last bit: two-tone can be stylish. 
There it is! I printed two of the holders and screwed an aluminium profile on it that I still had from the Primo. Works really great. Thanks Doug!

It’s printed. AR cable chain on thingiverse. Will post a link later.
Sorry, took a while. There is a bigger version as well but it has linearity problems. The linked, 20mm version, works very well.

Nice work!
Things I learned about acrylic: If you use trochoidal, make sure that you have a very good dust collection. There will be big shavings of it and they do not compromise. After the job, my core made hobbling sounds because of acrylic shavings sticking to the bearings, cleaning it was really nasty. Also, on the Y where the bearings roll over the wood, you can clearly see markings the acrylic made in the wood when the bearings rolled over it, picking it up on the way, never letting go because of static I guess. Next time I will definitely be cutting in the middle of the workspace as well as having the dust collection with the bristles up and I will be having some kind of barrier against the shavings to stay away from my Y bearings. Ugh.

I think you’ll know where to look if you start missing wrenches (spanners for our folks across the pond)!

I like the table, the color scheme and the controlbox.
What was your biggest hurdle on this build?

Too many kids.
And my stupidity when trying to install the X-belt…
