The next router is a lot easier to build. Some parts are cut to size to reduce weight and lower the cost factor.
Much less printed plastic, only one HGR20 rail on X, ballscrew on Y reduced to the size needed, the large Y extrusion cut to the needed size, new mounting table concept and some other changes.
The project file will provide a portal for HGH20CA blocks (the ones that ship with most HGR20 sets) but also a portal for HGH20HA linear blocks which are a little longer and better for Y.
If things work out the new C-Arc and the portal can be ordered on http://justway.com later.
Also this time all parts are labeled with sizes etc. so it is easy to lookup the required size of for example rails/ballscrew/extrusion/acrylic plates etc.
Still trying to figure out a cheaper replacement for the aluminum extrusions.
