    Ok, got them adjusted properly. Bulltear Gantry Teardown Pit Crew here I come! Im really tired of taking that damn thing apart.

    Matt, could you please explain what you meant by the Port Test?

    We will try the g-code motion tests tonight and see if everything is ok, but I'd like to be able to test the ports if it isnt.

    As an fyi...

    I had to back the spanners off about 3/16's of a turn to get them to just "bump" on with my palm. You might wanna set up some rails for the assembly guys to test how hard it is to put the damn things on the rail.

    Gantry kits always take more effort to build than a complete table. The adjustable preload allows you to overload or even underload the trucks. They should have had the correct load when they were shipped. I did catch a guy here overloading a set and let him know it isnt acceptable. I am sorry you had to adjust them! We have rail hard mounted to set preload here.

    Ok, I thought you would probably have a hard mounted rail to test...

    Port testing procedure?

    Shipping the limit switches and wire?

    Exciting Update:

    We have smooth movement from the x axis! Everything is responding properly to g code inputs now. Tomorrow the water pan should be bent up and ready for pickup. Then I can weld it up and put the slats and holders in. Then maybe some cutting?!

    What am I missing Matt? What should we start with as far as cutting goes?

    Can I run the table without those limit switches?

    How do I test the ports?

    What is next?

    You can start cutting as long as your Z home is responding. To check this go to diagnostics and push up on the Z axis and see if the Z axis home light comes on.

    Well, I got the water pan picked up last night...


    Got it placed with the forklift:


    Got it welded up...


    and got the slats in...


    I oriented the slats on the x axis to make it easier to slide the plates onto the table. I also made the water pan 5" deep to allow me to submerged plates and keep the mess contained... (hopefully) I didnt cut anything on the holders or slats, so I can always go back to the stock orientation if this doesnt work.

    Great job! Yes put one in the front and back just inside the frame so you can drain from both sides.
