Hi All & Sundry Gcoders - I've started rebuilding Frankie. Looking good. I've looked at the square rail I have and it will go on the Z axis. The other axes will be Dia16mm round. I've also started rebuilding Brevis No1 which has some of the features of / for Frankie . A cranked saddle with up facing gantry rails and the belt drives and the motor mounts and belt tensioners.... I found some heavy aluminium angle which I had cut up for a mould many years ago, would be good for the gantry ends. Will measure that up and get it into the model. I spent some time stretching it to 2400mm but it became really long with non standard sheet sizes so I've kept this simple. The aim is to build Frankie, sell it then build a full sheet machine or the robot.... Peter

I'm thinking of using Scoots Z axis assembly then theres no brain work needed. But then I have to order parts vs build parts.... we'll see
