Most excellent. Found that thread yesterday and was thinking how great it would be to get a demo of that setup. Thanks for demoing for us and adding your tips and experiences.
I too, have too many hobbies. Have you stuck with the lr2? Coming back to mine all you see now is the lr3. I like being able to undo two belts and getting it off a table.
Very interesting. I've been planning something vaguely similar. In my case, I want to use my workbench as the platform. I've been planning a set of removable rails similar to your box beams that would mount on either side of the long axis of the bench. I had been wondering about how to engineer the rails, your box beams are a great idea.
Nothing profoundly different no--Alignment and squaring are the biggest things to get right and the V-slot rails are a must in my opinion--single best thing to keep the gantry parallel even after installing dual Y-end stops.
I had an issue with the spindle mount (the PLA softened and the router slipped due to heat)--I have re-designed that part since then. Unfortunately I had to take it down to make room in the garage for awhile :( It should cut a few inches (depends on the bit used) but I have about 4" of travel or so in the z-axis.
I had to put small (5mm or so) brass spacers between the wheel and the Y-carriage so that the wheels would clear the bolts. Other than that nothing else..
Awesome build. I got here following a link on your V1 forum build. I’m building an LR3, and saw this, and the original design and think it looks great, very functional. I do have a question though- why not utilize the 2x4 cutouts in the sawhorses and make a table without the additional cradle? You could flip it 90 degrees and offset the rails vertically to clear the sawhorses, then build with the furniture clips and removable torsion boxes. I only ask because I just bought 2 of the same sawhorses for a different project and immediately saw how I could use them for an LR3 table. Looking forward to seeing more LR2 videos!

Hi, great video! The "panel clips" right around the 3:00 mark, where might I find these? Thanks!
Great project, thanks for sharing with us.

The v3 on the MPCNC website uses rails. I’m sure the schematics and purchasable kit will help you out.
Great job!
Nice! Have you considered upgrading to the Lowrider v3?
You have a link for the plans you showed? I want to scale everything up a bit.
I'm getting ready to build one myself. Any tips or anything you'd do different?

Any updates on that? How is it running? What is the max material thickness? :)

had same trouble getting wheels what adjustments are needed for 72mm wheels ? Thanks Steve

Where did you find the clips?
There is a place here called Lee Valley tools that sells them. Not sure if Amazon carries them...
Is it possible to do the same table in full sheet size?
absolutely--the size is only restricted by your imagination :) and space of course...
@@TooManyHobbies786 I think the problem is with the length of sawhorse not enough for full sheet table (1.5m) is required
