Seconded! Looks great.
Once the LR is done, you can upgrade to a MP3DP.

As rigid if not more rigid. No formal test other than just holding it in my hand but I think it’s stronger
Agreed!!
Seconded!!!
I was actually looking into this. I realize the irony of what I’m about to say, I kind of just want to print vs tinkering with printers. I’ve looked into Vorons and all that as well. I’m at the point of been there done that. I just want to print now. I get that I’m violating that currently as I build an LR3 vs buy one. But obviously to buy a full size cnc were talking 10x the cost at least. That ain’t in the budget. However, this community I would consider pretty advanced and once I built my Primo I really didn’t do a lot of tinkering. I just cut stuff. Which I really enjoyed and really impressed me. So yes its build. But honestly it worked like it was just purchased assembled. But I dunno. We shall see. I haven’t decided on what I’m going to do.

For that it seems a bunch around here went for the MK4. And have all had great reviews of it. I thought about getting one myself but I just can’t justify a 5th printer lol.
Kitchen counters are for building CNC’s right? Hahahaha
I don’t have any legos but this is pretty stinkin close.

My 3 pro is klipper now! It was a hate then love relationship. I really would miss it now.

Haha wife would have killed me. I had to prebuild my cnc table and use that
I think it’s the other way around…
These pics — your rig is amazing!

Unsurprisingly a new counter top is on the list for this machine…

I think it is only fair for the counters to help with assembly.

So close! Going to try and button up tonight to be ready to square and cut the struts. The best deal ended up being 1/4 plywood. Its underlayment I believe but is really high quality stuff. Hopefully it works out well.

That what I have, has worked great for me so far. Be aware though. Not all 1/4” plywood is 6.35mm
I just went and checked with calipers. its showing about 5.5mm. Seems like an odd size but at least its not to thick.

Took awhile to get these right. Not so slick with endstops. 3 of the 5 didn’t have signal. I guess I didn’t crimp very well so had to redo those. But now they work. But then I didn’t put them in right so I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t stop the y axis. Helps if they’re in the right spot.
REALLY happy I went with the jackpot. Having everything on an iPad is dope.
Moved to the front porch so I can hang with the kids while they play.
Finally. I was moving it around working on squaring. (still a little confused on how to fix square. Im with .75 in at the moment.) But I noticed play in the Core. Did it print wrong? Seems like all the bearings are pretty tight. It moves freely. No noise or anything but this kind of movement seems like it would have an effect on the cut. Any Ideas?

When you say the bearings are tight, do you mean the axle bolts, or the bearings themselves (do they spin freely, or is there a little bit of drag). The bottom bearings in particular need to be adjusted so that there is just a tiny bit of drag, then loosen just a smidge. - if they spin too freely then that might mean that the core can flop around.
After having used the tft screen to probe 30+ point on my spoilboard. Can confirm some form (jackpot/Pi/Repeiter) of wireless connectivity is superb. Not required but superb
Yeah most pieces are at or under the listed size. But something to be weary of (not speaking of the time I accidentally forgot and was cutting 2mm into the spoilboard 
)

Those are the two bearings on the bottom of the core most visible. The angle shown is taken from the top down. You cant see the “captured” bearings well but I tried to spin them and seems like they are pretty free to spin as well. In that video you can see how much bolt is through the nut. I was worried about cracking the core as I thought I had read about that a couple times. I guess I’ll go tighter.
Edit - It’s the “visible (not captured)” bearings that perform the tension adjustment
I’ll definitely tighten those down then. Seemed like I was going to break something long before it got tight. Ill crank em down in the morning and see what happens.
