Just placed the order for all the extrusions and corner brackets. I'm maybe jumping the gun a bit, but I figure if I sit on this thing any longer i'll never get it started - let alone finished.

Through the week i'll have a look around to get some quotes on plasma cutting for the plates, and also assemble a list of all the fasteners i'm gonna need.

Are you in the US or UK? There's some screws you only need 2 of, and I bought box quantities... happy to share! PM me your ship-to if you'd like some.
I might have a spare double pulley, gotta check... I highly recommend the double belt with the shaft across the front.
I machined the idlers for the Z belt loop.
I need to see if that made it into the docs. (Long pause) yes, it's in there.
Did you find the google doc instructions? If you PM me your email address, I (think) I can give access to the common doc.

I'm in the UK i'm afraid, but thanks for the offer.

I am planning to machine all the parts I can handle on the lathe though, as well as czech out how deep a chamfer I can cut with delrin. For Z belt idlers i've got a whole bag of 8mm hole toothed pulleys.

I did find the build instructions. They were a big help for figuring out what half the plates are for. Although i've spotted a couple errors I made since posting the sketchup model, such as using the same motor bracket as the X axis for the Z steppers, which was reducing the volume a bit.

I did some batches of rope pulleys out of POM (Delrin). Check this thread, hope is inspirational.

It's reassuring to see that huge form tool cut without any chatter. I've heard acetal machines well but never had a reason to try it.

That's a beautiful mandrel too.
