    Here are some more pics. Getting close to finishing. Hooked motors up, pretty happy with results so far, Y could be better. Next step is to hook up limit switches. Trying to use extra pins without having to
    use second parallel port.Attachment 230472Attachment 230474Click image for larger version.  Name: P1040043.jpg  Views: 0  Size: 119.4 KB  ID: 230476

    Here are some more pics, machine is done. pretty happy overall. not real satisfied with slave axis. I thought it would run smoother. I think next one I will use rack and pinion or bigger lead screws.Attachment 234924Attachment 234924Attachment 234926Attachment 234928Attachment 234930Click image for larger version.  Name: P1040088.jpg  Views: 0  Size: 62.4 KB  ID: 234932
