I got a lot of the parts for the Z axis today. I got the extrusions and the belts.
I started by loosely assembling the parts onto the rails, making sure the belt looped through the pulleys and fold back bearings correctly. The parts were assembled close together so the tension of the belts was not making it difficult.
Next I positioned the rear lead screws assemblies. I secured them tightly making sure the lead screws were perfectly vertical.
I them positioned the front lead screw assemblies. I decided at the last minute to put the motor towards the front. It does not really change anything, but puts the trickiest part up close where it is easy to reach.
I ran out of T-Nuts so I can't attach the table, but I set it in place to check the dimensions. It looks good.
