Y Axis Complete

So today was rather uneventful. Y axis got completed as planned and x axis is almost done too.

First step was to cut out a hole for the now a bit longer motor assembly. Normally, the angle grinder is the tool you go to when all else fails. Not today!

The angle grinder started on a good note but ground (No pun intended) to a halt a few millimeters in. This chassis is not made of regular aluminum I tell you. It has to be some sort of hardened version.

The manual drill saved me and about 20 holes and a crowbar later, voila!

Y axis had to be rebuilt as well with all pieces in the right location. So here it is, a complete Y axis motor assembly.

A few bolts and some nervous seconds when reattaching the ball screw later and the Y axis was done.

And here is the X axis just waiting to be attached as well.
