LaserCut Mendel Assembly Photos
These are some photos I made of my TechZone LaserCut Mendel. Some photos were made during assembly, some were done after assembly.
Pre-assembly - showing the two triangular sides
And below is the frame assembled. NOTE that the X carriage is reversed - the X stepper motor should be on the same side of the frame as the Z stepper.

Z-axis issues
Here is a photo showing that the nut which lifts the X-carriage is much thinner than the material where it is mounted. I felt like having this much play would be a problem, so I cut out several layers of thin cardboard and stacked them in on top of the nut to fill out the empty space. (Pay no attention to the washers shown - that was a false-start.)
