SUFThere is an aluminum frame of the device:
I made it during the weekend. It is almost finished. The only thing is missing from the frame the two L shaped piece, what I'll use the mount it.
I also made some supports for the optical endstops:
The other things need to be done:
- Etch the board
- Build the electronics
- Write the code
- Mount the electronics to the frame
- Cut out the place of the electronics/stepper from the LDF insert
- Mount the insert to the sliders
- Mount the lighting, etc. to the insert
- Order the mirror
- Mount the mirror to the insert
- Mount the pulley to the stepper, add the timing belt, spanner, etc. (most of them not arrived yet)
- Connect everything together
- Mount the device to it's final place

so it's either a sc/tanning-bed or you're planning on exposing *really long* PCBs
Are you sure? yes | no
Ok, so for tanning-bed it is a little bit small. The whole thing will be 85cm wide (with the supports not there yet).
I don't think I'll ever expose such long PCBs at home - you need proper size etching tank for this, what I don't have. :-) BTW. As I said, my wife has some connection with this project (the PCB etching is clearly not her business, she only involved in woodworking things), otherwise she doesn't care, what I'm doing. :-)
