some of the parts listed in the BOM are wrong.
| Part | # Included | Source | Alt Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotter Pins | 2 | fastenall | |
| Brick Mounting Bolts | 4 | fastenall | |
| Brick Mounting Nuts | 4 | fastenall | |
| Short Wood Screws | 14 | fastenall | 7000bulk box??? change to part # 32182 individual screws |
| Long Wood Screws | 90 | fastenall | 2000 bulk box?? change to item # 32187 for individual screws. |
| Motor Mounting Screw | 8 | fastenall | |
| Motor Mounting Washer | 8 | fastenall | not washers, duplicate of above bolts. |
luckily it’s pretty easy to spot the errors because your shopping cart becomes extremely expensive.

there have been lots of discussions about motor options, I won’t try to cover
them here.

it varies, with recent setups (counterweights), we don’t use this except for the
anti-backlash on the Z axis
Chain>2|Custom|Amazon| ---- length?..
I believe that stock in 11’ each, but you would do well to get ~13’ each in case
you end up wanting to extend your top beam
Motor sprocket|2|Custom||
8mm inner diameter, 10 tooth #25 roller chain sprockets
Slack Sprocket|2|Custom||
a #25 sprocket with no hub
Heatsink>2|Custom||
newer motor control boards come with heat sinks
Ring Bearing|4|Custom||
only needed if you are doing the ring rather than one of the linkage kits
So where on this website can I actually buy the CNC? I must be missing it somewhere.
There are a couple companies selling kits right now, metalmaslow just started
selling their upgraded kit, and makermade is selling the original kit.
