Today was a large step forward in getting the first prototype operational. The top bearing mount and lower motor mount were both 3D printed to check for errors and test fit the stepper motors. Corey and I agreed that we are confident enough in the design to start ordering components. If you scroll over to the BOM you will notice it has been expanded, the part order should arrive within the next few days and we plan to begin purchasing Shapeways prints to build the Full Z and X axis by the end of this week.
