Finished at 4am this morning. Plugged in a laptop and ran some basic shapes in Easel. Everything worked the first time. I took a lot longer to build it than the suggested times in the instructions, but I was forcing myself to watch the vids and read through more than once.
I was missing the nylon washers for the arduino from my kit but I sliced some off a nylon spacer and went on with it.
The only part of the assembly that bogged me down a little was the pins for the limit switches, yellow/black twisted pair and the connector. The wire was just thick enough to not want to snap in without applying a lot of force to get them to lock in.
Thanks, Inventables crew. This is something I have wanted in my shop for a long time. The engineering and design far surpasses the cost of the machine.
Now that I can cut anything I want, I can’t decide what I want to cut…
