Mudd Flapp Ranch- Print NC X Gantry Build

My apologies for the poor video quality, it was freezing in my shop. In this video, I discuss the build out of the X gantry, which is remarkably similar to to the Y builds, with the addition of a linear rail on the bottom. I also discuss the virtues of cheap Chinese drill bits.

First of all, I want to say thanks for your work on producing these videos. I'm overwhelmed at putting my CNC together, I can't imagine all the extra work you put in filming and then editing. I'm very excited to hear that you're going to assemble your Z-axis with wood. I don't have the ability to make the aluminum plates so I'm glad you'll show how to make the temporary wooden plates. I'm also having some difficulty learning Fusion 360 and it seems like a lot of the improvements and additional information is shared via Fusion 360 files. I've sort of figured out how to get STL files out so I can print the new files but it seems more difficult than just sharing the STL files. Another challenge I have is putting together a complete list of fasteners. Do you have a list of what you're using? Thanks for the suggestion on the inexpensive bits. I haven't seen carbide bits like this so I'll have to check them out.

Great build series. Thanks for documenting the process!
