Basic Draft complete

  • Completed basic drafts of the X, Y, and Z axis for the CNC machine. X and Y axis were already basically done, but now Z axis includes clamp for the Makita Router.

  • The CAD file was huge and slowed down my computer, so I split the 3 axis into 3 different file, which heavily improved performance and decreased time just sitting there waiting for things to load.

  • Also I made a few mistakes and everything was at random angles which messed up some measurements, but I fixed those, which also took a while, since I had to re-assemble everything and make sure the tiny misalignments didn’t appear.

  • Designed and added brackets to bottom structure for support.

  • Also replaced linear rail supports from 2040 Extrusion to 2020 Extrusion to save materials and space.

  • Assembly has gotten pretty big, so program runs slow and sometimes freezes when trying to save. When I was changing out the extrusions, I accidentally moved the linear rails out of place and had to align them back into their original positions, which took some finessing.
