This seemed like the best place to show off my new gMax. I decided I didn't want to lose a working machine, so I started building my own 32"x14"x3" version for the needs of a specific job. I could have given it much more height, but my builds don't require it. Behold, the DoubleWide!
It is really still a work in progress. I need to finish all the wiring and the bed leveling.
One problem I'm having is the Z-Axis doesn't seem to want to reverse. It works fine bringing the extruder up, but it just won't go down. It sounds like it wants to, but the motor doesn't. I checked the pots, threaded rod, and all the wired connections. The only thing I can think of is something with the endstops, which I have yet to wire.
Suggestions are always welcome! If I get this to work, I may try another version with a split y-axis and using all v-slots.
