I've reached another significant milestone – I've successfully assembled the entire frame for both the Y and X-Axis. This involved machining various smaller components like the ball screw bearing plates, Y-Axis motor plates, and Y-Axis bearing blocks, all of which required precise machining to ensure top-notch performance for the machine. The most exciting part of this update is the machining and assembly of the X-Axis gantry. It really brings the machine to life and demonstrates its incredible capabilities and strength.

In terms of value for money, this DIY build is hard to beat; you won't find a CNC machine of this size with a frame as robust at this price point anywhere else in the market.
