Well, it arrived on Tuesday, and I have been rather busy since, LOL
the box is huge! that is 12 in ruler laying on the top..
and a couple of obligatory unpacking shots...
once all unpacked, and inventory verified, the hardware sorting began...
Frame assembly took roughly a couple of hours working in short increments... but this thing is HUGE! it dwarfs the SD4s and barely fits on my 24in deep counter.
and most recent pic... bottom and top plates in...
was trying to install the bed mounting plate last night and hit a small snag - the lead-screw mounts don't quite line up correctly... not really sure why yet, it was late so I called it a night and will take a better look tonight after work..
the smooth rods went in fine (2 on each side) but the lead-screws are almost a 1/4 inch out of alignment at the bed plate.
All rods/screws are straight and roll smoothly, so that is not the issue.
up to this point it has gone together pretty smoothly. hoping that simply rotating the bed plate 180 degrees will solve the alignment issue (it is marked to be placed in a certain orientation and is currently in the "correct" position)
will post more once i get it sorted out.
