One thing I think is a glaring omission from probably every 3d printer I've seen is a proper emergency stop button. A reset button inside the box doesn't cut it, nor does a 'pause' button in pronterface that becomes a 'resume' button once clicked
That's probably the next thing I will change. My immediate thought was to mount a button on top of the Z column, but on reflection I want to put the spool holder up there.

Thank you Epinety!!!!
Very good job :-D
@droftarts Thank you also for the explanation!!!!
So the actual steps for mm is 4000 e with the new threaded rod will be 2133.33 a little less accurate.... :-D
But I presume the more accurate mechanical structure and longevity are more important.

I'm not sure if raffybuffy is meaning resolution rather than accuracy here. Surely the tolerances on any ormerods manufactured parts would mean there accuracy could be out by 0.03mm at 200mm. (thats only 0.00015%, good enough for me) Even if they are built perfectly

The STL file is attached. The O-ring to fit is BS1806-213, 23.39mm x 3.53mm

Very rare to see an Ormerod 1 with the original acrylic X-Arm on it - can i suggest an aluminium upgrade maybe
Everyone that has fitted one has reported good improvements, see my sig for details below.

Would it be possible to re-design this STL file so that the hole into which the brass nut is 10 mm rather than 8 mm ?

I don't have the original design files anymore, but this is a trivial change to make directly in the stl file.
e.g. in OpenSCAD...
- import the .stl file.
- move the part around until the hole in centred on one axis.
- draw a 10mm diameter cylinder at the origin.
- rotate the cylinder until it's in the same plane
- subtract one from the other.
- render the resulting object
- export the object to a new stl file.
It probably took me longer to write this message.

My first try in OpenScad, seems to work, amazing....

That's done it! You won't want to design with anything other than OpenScad now!
