Re: BETA testers discussion
I'm stuck right now as I need to remove the Z motor plate and slot it so I can slide the motor over about 1-2 mm to reattach to the Z-coupler. After that the mechanicals should be 100% done for me.

Re: BETA testers discussion
I have concern about my Z threaded rod and the motor mount as well. With the sled near the top the rod has to bend a bit from the coupler to the anti-backlash nut. I'm afraid to take it all the way to the top. I know mhackney suggested a slotted motor mount but I'm wondering about slotting the anti-...

Re: Tolerances
I can't speak directly about the Orion (yet) but with FFF machines I typically keep a tolerance of about 200 to 400 micron. It might be better to post the question in the Orion section though.

I think that's a great idea. Partial curing is used in the Helios though I don't know if that is laser or DLP based.
