900x600 build question
Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 7:48 pm
Hi Marco,
I'm building the 900x600 XY right now, and have a couple quick questions.
1) There are M4x11 and M4x16 bolts, roughly equal numbers of each. I am assuming that 11mm will be for going into blocks and 16mm will be for through-holes. Is this correct? Or is there a document somewhere showing which lengths to use in each location?
2) I'm trying to add the Y motor mount to the frame, but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. The frame is drilled so that the base block can be mounted to the frame. There are 2 holes for this, and it makes a LOT of sense that this is required for maximum rigidity. There are also 6 holes for mounting the vertical plate to the back side of same frame member. However, if I use the holes that go up from the bottom, the holes in the rear panel are very misaligned. See the photo.
If I align the holes on the back, the ones from the bottom are just as mis-aligned. Got a suggestion?
Thanks.
Andy
