I have a couple of minor issues when putting my machine together.
I ordered the kits, racks and pinions from the website. The only parts I have sourced elsewhere so far are guide rail and steel tubing.
So far I've come across a couple of issues putting this all together, worthy noting and thinking of.
1. When mounting the spring loaded motor mounting plates on their assigned positions, the M8 bolt is too thick for the precut holes.
I considered two different solutions. One was theeading and the other was drilling the hole wider. Thoughts?
2. The rails are to be mounted by m4x12 machine screws and m4 t-nuts. However, those screws are too short. They do not reach all the way down to the theeads.So I need longer screws, and was thinking M4x16 since I'm not sure M4x12 would add much enough extra thread to actually give the strength needed.
If I stumble upon additional hardships, small or large, I will add those here.
