New parts - again... Starts to get expensive
Every single piece seem to come with a bill attached to it?

VERY Impressive, Your craftsmanship is impecable. All parts are well thought out and BEEFY.

You are the envy of the entire forum and everyone is watching anxiously to see more.

Question, are you dead set on that gear ratio? Or how will you adjust gearing if you have to change pinion?

[mckrill]

Shims - very simple and dead stable.

Thats what I had in mind as well. Just seems to be time consuming...

[mckrill]

Here I started to drill holes for the assembly of the machine. I was considering to laminate the trays permanently to the sides, but the assembly/dis-assembly would be difficult, an I stall have not decided on the position..

Some more images with test assembly

(The gray dust in the corners of the trays are carbon fiber dust)





Extremely rigid setup
