Really appreciate the effort you have put in to these videos JP. You've shown detail that isn't available from the JDs Garage videos and that helped me a lot mate. As with you I did not want to buy "off the shelf" as the whole idea here is for everyone to learn as you build. I've learnt a lot. Still a lot to learn as I'm at the stage of final wiring. Maybe you could do another video or two over time with how you progress with it? Tube notching maybe etc? Anyhow good luck with your business venture.
@@jannerboyjohn Thank you, Yes eventually would like to try the tube notcher for the add on. However that will likely come after I save and purchase the Rouge Fabrication Tube bender. I can see a possible Upgrade to the 3d printed parts one day, really they are not bad for the price, however probably the weakest link of the entire build.
@@uwuweewee I think half of this is the joy of building it from scratch getting out there and building something. Really Mine only ran about $1100 all said and done. I can agree a name brand is more appealing in the future but for now it does what it needs to do.

My rods do that too. I think I'm just going to put a short screw in to keep them locked into the block
@@dieseldood that’s a great idea, i have not had time to mess with mine, but I may do something similar
I put a dab of hot glue out side but not directly on each bearing rod so they would fall out. Mine kept falling out while I was assembling.
@@afmuse76 awesome thanks for the tip!
Got mine running all 3 axis and its working great however the Y-axis motor (the big one) is screaming hot, even at idle...is yours the same JP ?
@@jannerboyjohn yes mine get crazy hot as well. hasn’t been an issue yet, but i keep monitoring it.
Fookin' shiz' yo'. :) Sweet setup. :)
Thanks brotha 🤙
Congrats on not blowing the breaker.
thanks 😂
I actually found it cheaper just to buy the Landmuir crossfire rather than build this inferior version

I spent $600 total on mine vs. Over $2300 for theirs with Z axis, water table and same table size. I'm not sure how that math adds up.
