    I have started compiling a manual that will have spec sheets for all the parts that need them (Obviously not going to list specs of brackets, eccentric spacers etc.) I will convert my various file formats of these docs into PDF's and post them as the build goes on. I hope to be able to keep a very detailed log of the build process to share with everyone. That should be the easy part, I am used to writing technical documents, usually for other peoples projects, so writing up one of my own projects should be easier (I hope!). Once the build is complete, the different controllers will be documented on my Google+ page

    SO I already have over 100 pages of documentation and I haven't even started the build yet. :)

    Hello @Anthony Bolgar,

    Thank you for posting the video, I lost it some time ago as it's very useful to show it to fellow builders.

    Now, you won't be able to use the T-nut and M5 screw to fasten the end of the belt unless you keep the "glued" belt about an inch or 25mm from the end of the V-Slot/C-Beam. I might be writing something you already know but this information can be helpful for other people as well ;).

    Keep up the good work!

    -Ronald

    I have decided to change the controller from a smoothieboard to an arduino UNO running the estlcam 9 firmware. I really like the ease of use of estlcam, as well as the ability to add an Xbox controller as a pendant. It is really well written software, and is feature rich.
