Bracket for 4th axis servo motor

Piece of 6mm loominum 



Slightly noisy when I chamfered the external profile, as only held in place by 4 light tabs.




Cut it out with some nibblers, then belt sander to clean off the remnants of the tabs.


Finally, a couple of spacers - 25mm length, M8 clear, 19mm OD. 


Goes together nicely, just like the CAD model.


I couldn't quite get the pulley centres far enough apart within the confines of the box. I went for 200mm width and decided where to position the harmonic drive quite early on. But not to worry, I plan to use a couple of ball bearings as a jockey to shorten the belt.

TIG welder up and running - after some fault diagnostics and repair

Finally got some time to connect up the flow meter and argon hose. Plugged in the torch and ground cables and the torch hose etc. Powered it...
