Ok cool! Have you purchased the X/Y and Z plates? I see that West 3D has them in stock.

Nice build. Don't want to know what that weighs as the standard LDO kit is heavy as! 

Like what you're doing here

You guys need to learn the lingo...

It's heavy AF.

Plates

I was thinking of cutting them myself out of 6061

My plates from send cut send are on their way. I should have them in a few days.

Completed the final termination of the external wiring only the touch probe to wire to the 3-pin Deutsch when it arrives. Temporary installation of the tool setter, I'll need to re-mount when I get the X fixture installed.

Z stepper motor wiring completed and secured

Routed and secured the thermistor for the rad temperature monitoring.

Replaced the front feet support with the tilt mod feet support since they bolt to the table with four screws instead of just two (front and side screws).

I thought I'd try this (3D printed panels) instead of having a bottom panel cut since it can't be seen when the mill is upright. Thanks again @Penatr8tor for designing & sending me the file from the bottom panel.

I received the water-cool fittings I was missing to connect the tubing to the water-cool components.

This M8-1mm pitch male x 10mm hose bard. The tube fitting shipped with the spindle didn't fit the 10mm ID tubing that I had.

The vent fitting for the water reservoir that relieves the internal pressure when the water warms up.

The G1/4 coupler so I could connect the water flow/temperature gauge to the reservoir.

 

Using my variable power supply, I connected the 12v for the gauge and pump. I got the water system filled.

Let me know how much that fan grill is offset and I'll send you an updated file. If you want or it bugs you.

I'm ok with the offset it not going to be seen when the mill is upright.
