In 2013, Sam purchased a Shapeoko kit. Made good progress at first, and then it languished in his garage for a few years. | In 2013, Sam purchased a Shapeoko kit. Made good progress at first, and then it languished in his garage for a few years. |
*Base: Drill holes in base to mount to whatever bench it will sit on | *Base: Drill holes in base to mount to whatever bench it will sit on |
*Calibration: (1/17/17- X&Y were determined to be out of whack. Ran a 50mm square job and found it produced a 45-ish mm square. Read more documentation and found steps/mm for MXL belts should be 43.74 vs. the 40 it was set to. 50mm square carved correctly on the second run) X&Y good. Z TBD- need to design a job to mill out pockets of particular depths and check with a depth gauge. Also tricky to quantify since current workholding uses fairly spongy double-sided tape. | *Calibration: (1/17/17- X&Y were determined to be out of whack.

| *Workholding- refer to [[http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/Workholding|Shapeoko's wiki]] for more information/ideas- looking at 1/2" thick spoilboard with lots of threaded inserts at the moment. |
*Limit Switches: Use mechanical switches for X-/X+/Y-/Y+/Z+. Maybe build/buy a touch plate setup for Z-? Printed the base of a touch plate, and Steve will cut out a brass disc for it on his CNC router. (X- & Y- switches are installed on 3D printed mounts. Additional T-nuts are needed to install X+ & Y+ switches.) | *Limit Switches: Use mechanical switches for X-/X+/Y-/Y+/Z+. Maybe build/buy a touch plate setup for Z-?
