Arvin: Thanks! I’m glad you like it!

Unfortunately, I still haven’t powered up the motors.

All of the mechanicals move beautifully. Belts are attached and tensioned, and everything is ready to go.

The hangup is that I’ve decided to move to EMC, and so I’m just finishing the controller, and working on configuration. And I’m also moving to a stepper extruder, which I’m developing/building.

So yea, I’ve got too many balls in the air right now.

I’m not sure yet how I’m going to make the design available. I’ll post something soon.

Tim: I have this as my desktop background. I think it’s beautiful!

Are you going to publish a bom so we all can do one?

Did it not work? Details?

Tim: McMaster sells them as a “flexible spider shaft coupling”. See McMaster Part# 6408K912 (I’m having trouble finding a url).

The Z platform looks great! What is the coupler between the stepper and threaded rod called, I’ve never seen one like that before.

YES, it does look very nice.
Neat, clean and professional looking.
I hope it works as well as it looks!
