    FLA100 Build

    Extreme Newbie here building the FLA100.
    I purchased the extruded aluminum from 8020 Inc. on eBay and drilled and tapped the holes on my drill press.
    I purchased my rails from Stock Car Steel also on eBay. They cut the steel to length and I drilled the holes.
    The hardware came from BoltDepot.com.
    CNC Router Parts is where I purchased the linear carriages, motor mounts, z-axis plate, acme-nuts, oldham couplers, and the shaft adapters needed.
    McMaster Carr is where I bought the 5-start ACME Lead screws, shaft collars, and thrust bearings.

    I have assembled everything but am waiting on the motors and electronics to show up. Can't wait to see it run.

    Here are a few pics from my build.
