Yes!! It’s finally time to start assembling my brand new ShapeOko 2. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Getting started<\/h3>\n

First of all I read all the way through the assembly on this page<\/a>. It’s quite clear and informative so I guess that assembly will go smoothly. I started by counting everything in the box just to see that everything on the bill of materials was sent from Inventables<\/a> – it was!<\/p>\n

Software and testing the electronics<\/h3>\n

I installed the Universal G-code Sender<\/a> as described. Then I unpacked the Arduino, the g-Shield, power supply and stepper motors and assembled the electronics on my desk to give it a test run as suggested. The instruction are clear and everything worked out of the box.<\/p>\n

Assembling the wheels<\/h3>\n

Then it was time to start working on the mechanics by assembling the V-wheels and the smooth idlers – a lot of ball bearings and washers – but just work to be done.<\/p>\n

Assembling carriage<\/h3>\n

Then it was time for the motor mount carriages – three in total: two for the Y-axis and one for the X-axis.<\/p>\n

Z-axis assembly<\/h3>\n

The Z-axis assembly is much more complicated than both the X-axis and Y-axis assembly. It is comprised of several sub-assemblies: the Z assembly carriage, the spindle carriage, the Z-axis rail and finally the X-axis carriage. All these are bolted together in one sub gantry.<\/p>\n

In the photo I’ve assembled the Z assembly carriage and the spindle carriage and all the remaining parts (except the X-axis motor mount carriage) are lined up for assembly.<\/p>\n

This is as far as I got today. Now I need to be tapping the MakerSlide<\/a> to make further progress – a process I’ve never done before so I’ll have to work slowly, carefully and patiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
