All,
I’ve finally gotten the wiring cleanup done and am ready to make chips!
All the wiring routes to the origin corner, and then is collected in the hollow space under the table.
From there it is connected using Mil-Spec 6 pin connectors to the cables going to the Rambo 1.4.
Rather than put a whole aluminum channel on the gantry, I made a little “lifter” that picks up the cable chain before it hits anything.
Using the screen controller I ran each axis out 300mm and measured the length with a steel rule: it looks like each axis is about 0.5mm short. I guess that’s not too bad, but you guys can tell me if that is something I need to correct.
I spend a while today getting more familiar with EstlCAM and did a bunch of “air milling” with the pen holder installed. Tomorrow I hope to really make some dust, and cut the parts for the upgraded MP3D printer.
I have a few questions about that, but I’ll post in the appropriate sub forum.
Mike
