Nooo! You’re Too close to stop! Take a few days break then finish up when the parts arrive! I want to see it go!

AnnaLisa,

You did a great job throughout your project in solving problems as they came up. When we step outside of our comfort zones and try new things, we will mostly likely face problems that we never knew existed. If we attack those problems we learn far more than we would have if we had not tried. Hopefully your experiences and new knowledge will take you far!

Good Job!

Gene

Perhaps check out the MPCNC design for motor coupling ideas:

That design either uses a standard metal flexible coupler if using a Prusa style lead screw or alternatively thy recommend a 3D-printed 'pineapple' coupler if attaching to stock threaded rod:

Well done for getting the project this far, the mechanical build looks great.

You will be able to put all you have learned to good use for other projects.

Kind regards
