Finally got into making the changes to the X-Axis on the X4 to allow the extra travel that the manufacturer doesn't give you. My mate Nigel worked out the mods the other day on his unit and last night we worked into the wee hours of the morning to modify my unit.
So in short the crappy 180cm of original travel has been increased by another 140mm with a little bit of work to the outside supports. Why this couldn't be addressed at the factory is short of stupidity.
Next I need to look at why the quick shot system only lubes the Z-axis properly. After that the Y-Axis will have a new ball screw added to give me another 30mm of travel.
