Hi,
my plan is to build a 2.x laser in germany.
While i am preparing the build some questions came up.
I have some trouble locating the correct Unit type ( Metric or Imperial ) in the Drawings with 100% certanty:
- am i right to assume that the drawings for the metal parts (c14002-001_rev_6.pdf, c30001-013_rev_4.pdf, c30001-014_rev_5.pdf ) are Imperial while the drawings for the milled HDPE parts are Metric ?
- are the drawings for the metal parts also availiable in a metric version?
-in the BOM are some Imperial Sized parts, as far as i can see most of them are for the z-lift. is there a reason not to use metric parts for the Z lift, as long as i correct my "z-steps-per-millimeter" in the gcode driver?
-are there other parts ( besides the length of the plastic spacers ) where a replacement by comparable metric parts would be harmfull ?
Thanks a lot everybody for shareing all these informations on such a impressive project.
greetings
Nico
