Makita mount is updated! Now to fix the Z limit switch position to actually work with the mount.
It’s coming along now man!
Alright Keiz you can breathe now, files are now live!
Can’t believe I missed this by 10 hours - you know what I could have been doing for the last 10 hours! Printing this! I will never forgive myself. I am very impressed with the new design man, absolutely epic.
Hey Alex,
I too was getting excited, but then I set my expectations real low so now I’m awe struck! 
I started to use the instructions for the upgrade and started to download the files posted on printables. I’m not seeing the ‘Z Lead Screw Spacer’ on printables for the v1.1 as the instructions indicate. Just wanted to let you know. As I work my way to the re-assembly and find anything, I’ll let you know.
I knew I would forget to upload that part when I made it 
I will fix that once I am back in town
I have been having a hell of a time getting through these prints without failure. I have had 2 cores fail now for random reasons (nothing to do with the files everything to do with the printer). Going to have another crack on Wednesday when I’m home. I don’t like to run the printers when I’m not right next to them anymore. The fear of fire is too real.
Alright, spacer is uploaded as a .step file to make changing its height easier if needed
Well after 3 days of nonstop printing, the x-carriage is done! Yeah and there was great rejoicing! Now to gather up the hardware and a block of time on a rainy weekend to take apart and redo with the updated parts and I’ll be good.
Alex, I’m working on this today and I’m not seeing where the 4mm short heat set inserts (x2) go. Is it right in front of me and I can’t see it?
They go in to the 65mm spindle holder clamp with coolant mount, some how I missed the steps of installing those inserts and installing the spindle XD
Ah no wonder why I missed it. I’m not using a spindle so I didn’t look at those pages 
thanks.
I’m astonished at how nicely cuts aluminum and wood 
Hi Alex, how's it going? First of all, congratulations on such great work. I'm migrating my MPCNC to the Brutus... I work on a 1400 x 800 usable table, and it tends to miss a few pulses on the y-axis every now and then... it's getting too long... Do you happen to have the mount for the Dremel 4000?
Unfortunately I do not and am unsure if someone has made something that could adapt it to one of the existing mounts or has made their own mount for it
Please help - I feel like I am eating crazy pills….
So I have embarked on a 2nd Brutus with the revised core.
For reasons that are inexplicable to me I am getting a fair degree of binding on the left-hand upright, once I have installed the belt.
Things I have eliminated: table and frame are square (gantry does not bind when belt is loose/not installed). Replaced the stepper and geared pully, used a small degree of paper to shim the relevant Y rail (which seemed to relax the binding somewhat but more/thicker shims reintroduced binding), the screws that carry the idler pulleys are loose and the idler pulleys move freely. I have checked all the bearings/bolts on the upright but as I say when the belt is not installed the thing can be moved with as stiff breeze.
The literal only thing I have left to check to is whether one of the idler pulley bearings has shit the bed?
The right hand gantry is installed with a tensioned belt and glides like it’s on ice…
Please tell me there is something obvious that I am missing!?
I mean the belt path is fairly straight forward and really does not interact with much at all other than the 2 idler pulleys and the geared pulley on the stepper.
I am at my wits end.
This isn’t a machine we deal with regularly.
Does the stepper motor on that side spin easily by hand when the belt is off? Do you per chance have the harness plugged into a controller and you’re getting a resistance during motion due to back EMF?
Check all the idler pullies to be sure they’re not binding.
Are the wires on that stepper motor stripped back and touching each other at the ends?
They are?
