So now all of the parts needed for actual operation came into place. Happy days!
First up was the X axis.
And a fee limit switches and some cable reattachment with Alvar and we have what could be a working (But ugly and fragile) CNC.
To quote an old colleague “stepper motors waking up are so cute”!

The next step was to check the rigidity of the entire construction….
Yeah, no breaks for me. I was hoping for about 0.02mm flex in the entire thing. Nut it was far above 0.05. That is probably worse than it was before the rebuild…. 🙁
