While waiting for the Y-axis I made a shelf to hold my PC, drive electronics and PP50. I got a used shipping crate I got at work. I cut it in half and then just put it on a ripped 2x4's that went the width of the table.

Just got the gantry cross tube back. I haven't put the track on it yet, but put it in place so I could start hooking up the drive electronics to start playing with them.

The first thing I did was install the E-stop. Since the switches were cheap and I'll be using the table where I may have trouble moving around it fast - I decided to put an e-stop switch on each side of the table. I mounted them in caps that go on the 2" square tube.

After finishing that, I started running the first wire for the motors. I immediately saw that having an e-stop on the side with the cables won't work.

Since that's the side that will have the PC on it - I'll just ditch that e-stop.

I also worked on the menu system for the THC. I have the top level menu working. When I finish all of it, I'll post a video on the Plasma thread that talks about it.
