New Build - 1000mm X-Carve - Questions

The enclosure is going to be a lid/cover possibly that just lifts straight up, I want full access to everything so that’ll also be a process planning that. Or a lift up lid that is easily completely removable.

Guides on the backside (linear bearings mounted to box with u-bolts and couple ground steel rods) and pulley setup perhaps. Large rubber seal/weatherstrip on the base that the top box rests on when dropped down.

But my woodworking friend has a shop vac outside that he uses often and it’s still kicking, and setup correctly it minimizes early burnout

care to elaborate on burnout precautions?

Endstops and soft limits? Tell me more.

Endstops/home switches. Designsbyphil (bottom page) for setting up your soft limits.
