I’ve added some quick and dirty limit switches and a z-probe to my 2417 CNC, and also updated the GRBL version to the latest!

I’ve learned a lot about how it works and think I might almost be ready to use it in anger. Of course I still have a more beefy spindle to install and some new connectors to crimp…

A stepper motor on top of a 3D printed cage. The motor drives a small gantry with a motor inside, which is just out of shot.

A wider view of the 3D printed z-axis of the machine. There’s a stepper motor at the top and a gantry holding a motor. The housing has a sticker of a man with a comically large tongue (it’s a friend of mine)
