The body is painted, bolted together, rods have been cleaned, XY stage installed, boards soldered and bolted on, cables run.1 I’ve affixed the opto-endstop triggers on the X and Y axes.
- I have not installed the Z axis endstops mostly because I’m just not that keen on marring that beautiful clear acrylic sheet that is the Z stage. I’ve created a little fitting out of balsa wood that will eventually support the opto-endstop triggers.
- I’ve assembled the two “dinos” but not any other parts of the plastruder.
- I need to assemble the rest of the plastruder, drop it in, and fire it up!
- Even if the opto-endstops are going to the wrong max/min ports for the moment. [↩]
