While working on the current project I do not know whether it should be called "modernization". At the present moment the machine is completely rebuilt, and from old machine, I used the electronics and one propeller. Below the promised pictures.

Modernization ?
Hi all,
While working on the current project I do not know whether it should be called "modernization". At the present moment the machine is completely rebuilt, and from old machine, I used the electronics and one propeller. Below the promised pictures.
This is how it looks now.

Modernization - next steps
Hello,
I have problems with my camera and I can not show current status of the machine, but it is almost ended. Some old photos I found I will share now.

But in that moment I have only missing some belts and cables to get it work. I hope I can sent post more frequently in future.

Modernization - new progress
Hello,
I used some free time and opportunity that I have workshop at home and create some new parts. I need to do modernization of this CNC as fast as possible.
Main profiles to gate are assembled. There will be additional reinforcement added to back of it. On left side I made from 15 mm thick aluminium place for bearings for screw. You can not see it, but it have place to install stepper motor. On third photo is additional cover to bearings and nut holder. I used screw and nut (Tr 14x4) from old machine. If I have free money I plan to install there ball screw.

Changes
Hi all,
After long period of silence finally I found time to create new post. As title says: changes. That is main thing that was happening during end of this year 2013 and will be in new 2014 year.
First of all I moved to a new place. Finally it is my own one. So I have to move all my things from home and my workshop. Renovating of the house was on the first place on the list to do. I need place to live and sleep.
Workshop is bigger problem. I have a garage where will be my permanent workshop. But roof of it has no isolation, winters in Poland are cold. So I can not move in there right now.
I made agreement with my fiancee and one of rooms will be my temporary workshop till Spring time.
(Sorry for poor quality of photos. I made those afternoon and light in my room/workshop is poor)

Sprockets
Hi all,
I have to get almost 11 sprockets to my BIGCNC. Two of them will be big (48 and 36 tooth). I decide to try to cut them myself. I found a script on Thingiverse (link) and create with it one HTD 3M and HTD 5M sprockets. With Cambam I convert STL to DXF and prepare files to cut. Each sprocket is made from two identical parts and put together with 4 screws.
This is what I receive. Assembled HTD 3M 20 tooth:
