Hello everyone,
my name is Beppe and yesterday I started my adventure, on the DIY of this fantastic CNC.
I will preface that I am new to the CNC world, but I am an Engineer with a passion for carpentry (I love the smell of wood) as well as other outdoor passions.
I started yesterday printing the Core on my Bambu Lab A1 30% Infill and PETG-CF Black filament. Estimated time 21 hours
Welcome Beppe!
Many of us didn’t come from CNC backgrounds and have enjoyed the experience. It is great to build and learn from the LR4.
What kind of engineering are you experienced with?
I look forward to seeing the machine and what you do with it.
Hello,
I do Industrial automation on Omron Rockwell and Schneider electronics. work for a company that manufactures food packaging machines.
Hi Beppe, welcome!
Apologies but I just noticed this thread is in the MPCNC section instead of the LR4 section. I assume a staff member has to help to fix that.
Not a member of the staff, but fixed!
Hello, Beppe- and welcome to the V1 community!
I look forward to seeing the progress of your build and what projects you do with your machine.
Hi Beppe, welcome.
I’m Italian too and I’ve been following the V1 forum for a long time.
Over the years I’ve built a MPCNC and a LR3 that are still in operation.
I’m sure that the LR4 will be a success, then with all the help from this wonderful group you’ll become even more passionate.
Have a nice day and good work
Welcome Beppe.
I built my machine with the Bambu A1 also. Printer did a fantastic making the parts. I also did not come with a CnC background however the journey has been a very enjoyable one. This form is wonderful resource.
Let’s start printing the Y_Belt parts.
3 wall loops, 30% Infill.
Cross Hatch pattern
May luck assist me 
Good morning, everyone,
some progress I have made:
This is the assembled Core with the bearings and makita mount, they are printed in PETG-CF.
Now we are waiting for the ordered parts to arrive.
For Ryan and the other gurus on this forum.
I am ordering the Jackpot from elecrow.com do you recommend I order anything else from them?
Update: I ordered the controller and Custom V1 Engineering ESP32-DevKitC from elecrow.
So Ryan has a profit from this order
Beppe
Update:
I assembled all the parts and glued the table today.

Today we start with the Beam assembly.
Loving the black and orange!
Did you mill your own plates or get them from Ryan?
I had them made by the machine tool department in the company where I work.
When I finish the lowrider I will send a donation to Ryan.
Unfortunately, from Italy/Europe, the shipping costs are inhumane.
Yes - same for me here in the UK. I’d have been much better off getting the kit from Ryan, sourcing my own parts has been a pain (though that’s mostly because of my preference for salvage…). Looking forward to the “international shipping partner” ! (I may already have a machine, but I’m trying to convince some friends they need them too… 
)
Yes my understanding is there is a plan in the works for direct shipping from a stockist, same as Elecrow for the Jackpot boards.
I don’t envy shipping shenanigans at the best of times but I dread to think how bad it is at the moment!
Hi guys from northern italy,
after days between rain and sun spent fixing my vegetable garden, now I have finished transplanting the strawberries, now I resume assembly.
Issue:
32 mm rod with its supports. i mount Ymax but the screw does not go to the endstop.
What did I do wrong? 
Beppe
Can you not move the Ymax belt holder towards the rail? It looks like the current position will pull the belt “outwards” which can’t be good? I’m still not sure what the relative placement of the belt holders “should be”. I probably missed something
Sorry everyone and I take a bow,
I just saw the youtube video of @francosmith9, I am ashamed of myself…
I had to move the tube stand further forward.
Might want to go back to working in the garden and drink less prosecco.
