    Little update:

    Started milling some motor mounts and ballscrew supports, right now i'm quite busy due to university projects but i'll be posting some interested things i expect to happen this week

    I finally ordered a set of hiwin linear bearings from a local supplier, 30%off, yeah, big deal!

    F**K it... turns out that the 10 mm thick "flat stock" i bought is actually 9.8mm.
    My fault to pay an overprized material and not checking it.

    No worries, just have to mill some things and everything will be okay:banana:

    Welcome to the world of a designer. You'll get used to that.

    Congrats on the nice machine build too!
