Hello All,
I have recently done some mods to the G0704 including the C7 ballscrew conversion, Z axis flip, rear mount Y stepper and extended X and Z axis which has yielded a significantly larger work cube for some new projects i plan on taking on in the future. I am also adding the 5th axis rotary table on the head as Hoss has laid out.
While doing all of this I decided to go ahead and do a nice enclosure because my flood coolant setup was making a pretty big mess. I constructed everything for the enclosure out of aluminum and plexiglass (Optix from Lowes 1/8" thick.) I have the benefit of being able to weld aluminum also which was why i decided to go this route rather then the 80/20 setup.
Below are some pictures from the progress over the past weekend. hopefully i will get some time to wrap this thing up and get back to making some chips this weekend!
Chris
