I am currently at a bit of a stall in the build. :? Looking at things, once I mount a 20mm MDF spoil board on top of the extrusion framework, then have my work pieces (eg. 10mm ply) and also have my end mill protruding from the end of the z axis I will have barely any z travel at all.

I have opted for nema 17's all-round except the x...

As some of you may know, Catalin has developed a modified variant of the ShapeOko, the eShapeOko. It is targeted at the European market as it has become increasin...

How cool is this!



If Barts linear actuator was used, could we be onto something!
