Wedgewood Update - Z axis in place, X begins
Here's Wedgewood with the Z axis components (minus the actual coupling for the X axis) in place and supporting the aluminium T-section that will serve as the X axis slide. Tests conducted by twiddling the vertical shafts by hand suggest that there is no need for guide rails on the Z axis, so that simplifies construction a bit.Also, note that I've trapped the nuts for the Z axis between slabs of MDF. Another quick construction technique.
So far, all of the bits can either be reprapped or made from MDF and epoxy or CAPA.
