Very, very sharp looking ``Hello world!'' Congratulations! (looking forward to seeing it on the gallery on the wiki). Yes, the dial indicator is a huge help in achieving precision --- fascinating to read about how that was initially achieved in books such as _Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy_. Th...

Finally a success. Thanks everyone for the input. I've squared the machine from bottom up :-). Started from the waste board, installed Y axis, then placed Z assembly. Removed bottom wheels to do that. I had to use Aluminum foil shim to make X axis parallel to the front extrusion. I'm hoping to submi...

Good one!

I am not sure that I understand the difference between 2.5D milling and and 3D. Is there a clear difference, or is the difference as fuzzy as my understanding? In general 2.5D is a sub domain of 3D. Roughly, 2.5D we have the complete control over X, Y and but half control over Z axis. In milling it...

Thanks

Seems you are almost correct Will. I found two boards are little bit warped so that center line (where two boards meet) slightly lower. :-(. I can assure you I've tightened all the screws well. I'm pulling my hair to figure out why that happens, my best guess is uneven thickness of the wasteboard, n...

Thanks Marvin

Caleb,

From where did you source hall effect sensors/magnets?

Thanks,

J.

Today I've noticed they provide a rough estimator of shipping. We need to know the weight of our items we order, and they provide a table of price vs weight . So it is better than earlier.

Marvin,

From where did you buy extrusions for the bed?

Ruwan.
