By the way, many thanks to CNC guy's for the spare pieces they graciously provided (acrylic seems to be very delicate when it comes to extra-torque

I agree. I had one and over time it cracked so badly I tore it apart and replaced the acrylic with thegeneb wrote:No you don't.The acrylic version looks great, but has cracking problems.

wood version. They look nice but it is the wrong choice of materials for a printer.
That's not a good assumption. Mine was cracking all over but I moved it a lot. Yours could be fine.artexmg wrote:So ... it means that, eventually, I will have to re-do it?Eaglezsoar wrote:I agree.

I'm sure the atmosphere and the humidity will eventually take its toll on our wood ones as well. So we will all have to redo our in time. Still even with the potential of cracking, i wood rather have an acrylic one. Although i did just take a trip to the basement to check out my personal reserve of aluminum plate, i might just build an all metal one next.artexmg wrote:

So, let's enjoy them meanwhileCJGerard wrote:I'm sure the atmosphere and the humidity will eventually take its toll on our wood ones as well. So we will all have to redo our in time.
