VAT-Tilt connection

It is one of the least, but not last thing left to do. The VAT to Tilt to X axis connection.
This is going to be long. Time me if you want. Start:

 Mark 7mm from each side  ( you can pick another number as long as it is a sacred one ).
Drill with M4 bit and a vacuum cleaner at this point to avoid getting chips in unwanted places and shortening something.

Assembled an L shape bracket with a bolt like so:

 Cut 2 x M4 threaded rod pieces in 125mm lengths:

Assemble the rods and L shape into:

Bend the rods to be perpendicular to the Meccano piece:

Now attach the Meccano piece with some M5 Inbus:

 

I had to recenter my X- axis to be in the center of the rods.

Finally bolt together, tighten and adjust with top lock nuts.

Stop!
Phew! That was a fast one. Took me longer to stop and take photos, than to actually assemble.

Yamas!

Deltron and Meccano Marriage

Deltron and Meccano must have had a marriage some time ago without us knowing.

 See the following:

 I wonder when was Deltron actually founded?!

X-axis mounted

As you know I'm using the DELTRON Linear LRS3-1. It is wider than the Bosch frame ( 40mm ) and it is not in the center of the printer. I have mounted it with only two of the 4 bolts.  Loosen the two nuts and slide the X axis extrusion straight down. Clamp you slide and mark, and drill your pilot holes. Drill with 4.5mm drill bit and tap with a 5mm thread. I used a 20mm Inbus to bolt it to the extrusion and fasten it to the frame.

Ok, I'll do this  to save another post with corrections:
I replaced the motor that is in the above pictures with another I had on hand:

The reason being, that last night when I hooked up the stepper drivers it was underpowered and stalled after numerous attempts to tune the motors. Also after a brief period of correct tuning I tested  some macro in Mach3 and the motor got very hot, very quick. So it was not meant to be.
The new one performed perfectly right off the start.

Pictures of the VAT tilt slide.

It is a little known fact, that the Imperial 10-32 bolts and the M5 Metric bolts are very close to each other,  some people call them "Compatible". So I have managed to secure the stepper with a M5 bolts in the NEMA23 motor mount. Bolts are M5 x12 "Inbus" (Allen Head) motor mounting and M5 x 25 (the  black ones) are for slide to frame.

And of course the VAT tilt slide photos,and the proof of the above statement:
