not a perfect circle as I expected, more like two separates curves, but much better than I expected today!

Z axis is running! :-D Just a view noises, which are originated in mixing some metric with US imperial parts, This metric parts from a common hardware store don't fit exactly. Tomorrow I will present the first running Contraptor Mini CNC outside USA! www.contraptor.org

Much better with flywheels, reduced vibrations and noises. The click cklack in one high speed direction is from my metric susbstitution on the shaft mount, it doesn't fit 100%.

Hard job with just three US imperial tools. I had to integrate the first metric screw ;-), because I ruined a shaft mounts tap while adjusting. Some vibrations somewhere, maybe a loose screw. Will check it tomorrow. Now I'm very glad to get this run.

This contraption was assembled from the Contraptor set to drill 16x16=256 holes per square inch in 8"x10" area of the cutting mat with 1/32" drill bit (~20000 holes total). The job was done in about 6 hours Contraptor is an open design project to create inexpensive DIY Cartesian robot construction set www.contraptor.org
