More planning! More machining! More testing!

hi there!
In the last couple of weeks we had some hard time keeping up with our daily life,so things slowed down a bit. Z axis is completed and tested,main frame is completed and tested,Y and X axis are 75% in the making, still  to be tested properly.

We took some time to organize the archives,document and print out all component specifications and give each of them a unique code id for quick reference.
Number of parts is pretty low (24) but many of them are similar to each other but with important differences,especially the X-Y axis parts, so we needed a way to easily recognize them.
In the next version we will adress this to reduce fabrication and assembly times.

We successfully tested Z speeds up to 2500mm/m with +/- 0.0001 mm teorical precision.
The testing electronics setup consist in a 12v 11A switching power supply, an Arduino Mega and a RAMP shield with 4 Pololus.
We are going to test everithing with standard Pulse/Dir electronics too,to make some comparisons with standard industrial/semi-professional CNC machines.
While we want to take some more time before showing the enclosed frame,we want to share some other custom components that we fabricated in the last couple of weeks.
