Good afternoon everyone,
Thought you all would like to see this project.
Ive had my xl for a few years now and its been a good little machine but lately ive been getting into bigger projects. That and the fact that i can get material cheaper buying by the quarter sheet then odd size pieces lead me to do this. This fills the gap between the xl and the pro, a size langmuir should offer. Before anyone says “why not just get the pro?” A couple reasons. First space, this is about as big as i can go, second i like to modify, tinker, and make things my own.
Using all the original parts except the frame and lead screw, the new cut size is 25 x 53. I have also changed the x to be on the long axis with y on the short axis more inline with machines im familiar running. Ive been told this wont work, it does but one motor needs to have the rotation reversed. Up next, do away with those dreadful DB9 connectors and replace with aircraft connectors and sheilded cabling.
Also some kind of strain relief, probably 3d printed, to protect the motor wires better.
