Day #4 - Almost done

There aren't that many pieces left, almost ready for the first test run.
There was however some screws missing from the kit so I will go to the hardware store tomorrow.
Almost assembled

  1. Which size screws did you use to attach the gantry uprights? The step-by-step instructions specify #8 screws, but that can't be right. I'm thinking #6 but those are also missing from my kit.

    I had a hard time aligning the X axis threaded rod, there is some vertical play caused by the anti-backlash assembly. When the table is fully at the back, the axis is slightly offset vertically and rubs on the nylon spacer on the frame. Hopefully this will go away when installing the front stepper motor...

  2. I used the included #8 screws to attach the gantry uprights, as instructed. It was the #6 screws that I had to buy more of, since six extra of them was needed.
