    5/6 axis build Got a ways into it. Now what

    Well a few years ago I started building a smaller machine than my last one. The new one has a working envelope of 4'x5'x4' It is designed to be belt driven on the X and y and has a fast ball screw for the 4' Z. The 5 axis head is a 16:1 belt driven design. X,y, and Z all run on THK or NSK slides. Most of the frame is 4"x4" x 3/16" wall square tubing.
    Motors are 850 oz/in Nema 34 Servos with 500 count quad encoders. Drives are Gecko 320's. Controller and Power are from Foothill designs. A PSC-1500.

    Well that's the basics. Below will be some pictures.
    It's been over 2 years since I ave worked on this. I either need to get back on it or sell it and free up some space in my shop. All parts have been bought for it. Just need to finish building the gearboxes and belt systems and do the 5 axis head. All the design work is done.

    I guess I'm looking for some encouragement to finish it or someone to make me a offer and take it off my hands.
