I've just finished assembling the Z Axis, marking the completion of the machining and assembly of the major machine components. The only tasks remaining involve installing and aligning the linear rails for both the X and Y Axis. My reasoning for starting with the Z-Axis was to use it as a fixture to align the X linear rails, and eventually, the entire gantry will serve as a fixture to align the Y linear rails. There's very little left to do now, and I'll soon be installing the necessary hardware to get the machine up and running. For a more detailed update, you can find a video on my YouTube channel via the link below.
