Has anyone done as the manual speaks about and built a 4’x5’ basic flat table with controller mounted next to the unit [image] I am finally starting my table design and build. Does this lay out work be for I go overboard and add the many options I have seen and heard. So do you have the basic table…

Why did you use 2-3/4 inch MDF instead of using a 3/4 in plywood for table top and 3/4 inch MDF for spoilboard Thanks

Yep Ron, took those photos right after building it… not so clean now. Michael, the workbench top is 3/4 in plywood. Then i put 3/4 mdf inside the machine limits (photo was before it was secured to the table, it doesn’t come flush to the table. Then i put a spoilboard on top of that (not shown).…

The thicker the table, the better in my opinion, due to the weight and stiffness. The manual says to build up the wasteboard thickness, but I opted to build up the table thickness so I’d have the maximum amount of Z-travel available to me. I went with MDF glued together since MDF was much cheaper th…

@rcincorona MDF here in the UK is 96” x 48” (2440x1220mm) so my table will also be a little short in the “Y” axis. I’ve designed a pocket in the rear wall so the steppers stick through and I’m going with a rear facing dust boot too. Hopefully the few extra mm this gains will prevent a collision at t…

Next was a going to be a 2 layer spoilboard board design but then they announced the frame. So I will create a temp spoilboard design till…

What materials did you use for the enclosure? noticeable sound reduction? Really like that design good job.

@PaquetteWoodworks Thanks very much. I have to thank @rcincorona for the inspiration. The enclosure is 18mm moisture resistant MDF, the front windows are glass, side and top are acrylic, all are gasketed too. The base is a material called Trespa, it’s use for laboratory worktops, it’s really dense,…

What is the prime reason for an enclosure? Noise or dust Considering an aluminium tube frame with fabric that folds - kinda like a convertibla car roof

Why did you you use 2–3/4 pieces of MDT for the table… could you not use 1 piece of 3x4 plywood and a 3/4 inch MDT as spoil board. thanks
