Fixed Gantry Conversion 5

Fixed Gantry Conversion 5 - Kinematic Z

In the last couple of days, I've been mostly working on the electronics. The best QoL upgrade ever is going to be the 40x60mm wiring duct compared to the 20x25mm that came in my original 2.4 kit…

Assembly Chamber Heater

Assembly - Full-Size Chamber Heater

Monolith Gantry LDO Kit Fasteners

LDO Kit Beauty Shot with Final Fasteners

One perk of the fixed gantry rebuild is that I was able to take a clean shot of the whole gantry with the black nickel hardware installed.

Heatblock Thermal Images

Heat Shield and Fiberglass Sleeve

Fixed Gantry Conversion 3

Fixed Gantry Conversion 3 - Kinematic Z

Without the SLM parts, I can't really make meaningful progress on the M0, so I decided to design a simple WS9290 top electronics mount. The plan is to reuse my existing 7040 in the PFA…
