Hey John
I'm not that far along yet.
Had some issues with the smooth rod not being the right size.
But Angelica and Eric over at 3dprintertek.com got it all stranded out in less that 24hr!
They are good people to work with.
So got the Y axis rod installed last night.
So moving forward.
I take my time on things like this.
Building is sometimes the most fun.
I'm think I would like to design my own 3D printer.
That was the big driver to get the MendelMax.
Need to see how all this works.
I'm thing of a printer with a build area of 16”x8”x8”
But we will see how it all goes and oh there is the day job to deal with also you know.
Tom
