Goodies at the Sunday market

I ran into a few useful goodies at the local flea market:

a couple small NEMA17 stepper and an all important Emergency stop button from Fuji Electric.

The Stop button is of fantastic quality. It is barely used. How many times have you had to push the Emergency stop on daily basis? I hope to never use it, but if the need should arise, it is there.

How many fingers am I holding up?!

BE SAFE!

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:

Once I have a "Clean slate" to build on, might as well use it for some photos:

Build Base

Welcome to the build log for a 3 DLP rinter.Without further ado we begin.
I like to always start a project with a cleanup of the build table, organizing my tools, have something to write with and onto. It helps me clear my head and refocus on the subject at hand.For this project I had in mind to lay a granite surface plate I had, but it proved a little too small for the job.
Looking for alternatives, I landed at a porcelain stoneware floor tiles 60cmX 60cm (24" x 24" ). They have a flatness from manufacturer of 0.1mm/m, giving me about 60 microns flatness overall.
