Parts!

by

I recently received the remaining parts I’ll need to build my desktop fabrication machine: glass for my build plate, a bunch of metric hardware, heat resistant tubing, timing belts, tiny drill bits, spacers, an M5 tap, 20mm T-slot extrusion, and some aluminum angle (architectural):

McMaster was incredibly fast at getting the parts out (as usual). I placed my order at 11pm on a Sunday. At 11:30 that night I realized I forgot to add something so I emailed them. They were able to add it and my whole order was out the door before 7am Monday and at my door on Wednesday.
Harbor Freight had a nice plastic organizer on sale. Things look so much more awesome when neatly organized. (Pay no attention to the mess behind the box.)

I bought some more hangers to store my extrusions in my garage too. That’s my MakerSlide stock in front.

I also picked up a saw blade for cutting the extrusions and some drive pin punches my “reman” activities.
