Heavy metal build progress 🇬🇧

Hi folks, I've started building up my heavy metal router after previously having a heavy with a 2.2kw spindle.. which always worked well - but this looks to be more sturdy and impressive.

I've got the following to share so far - although this is my experience - so if Topsie says otherwise, I would go with his opinion.

Things missing from the BOM:

Bearings - the stepper motor ends need 6201zz bearings - 2 per stepper motor. The other ends need 6000zz bearings - two per end.

Gantry vertical sections - not sure what size yet, haven't got that far - but I ordered several extra bits of 3060 500mm long to cope.

Z axis main extrusion - 30x120 or two lengths of 3060 (I went with 30x120) again I just ordered 500mm of it.

6060 bits also for the gantry - not sure what length yet, I ordered an extra 300mm long piece.

Missing printable parts:

White box to connect the y axis sleds to the ball screw at 2:50 in the video (will need 2)

Printed vertical spacers for the gantry (installed at 7:30 in the video)

Linear rail stops (8:30)

Printable parts that I've modified because I could only get profile 30 extrusion which needs m8 screws rather than m6 for the threaded parts:

My skills aren't great - but they work if you have the same problem as me and don't want to drill them manually.

I'll keep updating as I keep progressing - but it looks to be another great machine by Topsie
