Inderdaad, praktisch om de hoek! Leuk om te zien dat er zoveel Nederlandse lowriders bijkomen :slight_smile:

Het wordt tijd voor een meeting! Nijmegen is van mij uit ongeveer 50 km!

Maybe a good idea to start a separate thread on that one :smiley:

It’s been silent for a while here, but not in my workshop.

The correct drivers have arrived and are installed. That fixed the problem. Thanks @Jeffeb3!

I had to rotate nearly every connector to get the steppers in the correct direction. That took some time to fiddle every cable out of the connector and put them back in reverse.

Also, the table is as good as finished. Really glad that is is foldable and has wheels. I did not realize how big this machine was going to be. :grin:
I (and my girlfriend :wink: ) cannot wait until it is also wall-mountable.

I’m now decrypting the instructions on checking for squareness. That should be no problem.

One question to others;
Is there a best practice to get the cable from the core to lay down neatly into the gantry cable/hose channel? In my case, the cable keeps snagging behind other components. It does not stick up, but lays a bit flat. I’m willing to test some, but I’m sure that I’m not the first and that others have a more creative mind than I have.

At the moment I’m not going to install a dust suction hose, so I cannot connect the cable to that hose. This is a concious choise; I will be holding the hose manually to make sure that I stay with the machine and don’t wander off during operation. I saw some sub-optimal results on this forum when the machine gets stuck. Would really like to prevent that.

Thanks!

That is one nice looking table!

Attach it t the vac hose, that makes it simple. If you are not using a hose try the tape measure trick.

Well, that settles that just try the tape measure trick.
