When I get this operational I will put together a build manual with high rez images. If you want more details or better images just ask. In this build process I am making changes to help in quicker builds. I am building separate components for spares and for mods. I am approaching this build as individual modules that can be removed and replaced quickly
These pictures are from the original builder and their process:

Today I start identifying the parts and start looking for materials. No China Build is the strategy
had to use button head screws to get the clearance for the pulley
of course ball bearings laying around, wonder where they go?
Getting alignment and tightening the roller system. In order to get the rollors to not lock down you have to double nut
the attaching screw. the setup is a screw ,washer, 2 nuts and the anchor
at this point I'm just wing'en it. used .020 safty wire to connect the belt
at this point i just want to get an assembly, hope the belt holds
gonna be weeks before this hums, will figure out the details later. BTW the provided plans have no referance to alot of details so I will put my ideas to it
belt pulley build
looking at the picture i notice i have the drive pulley backwards. i would say the driven pulley goes to the x axis but i dont know yet which axis is which, the driven pulley on the transmission faces the motors and this is backwards live and learn, sure the machine would have acted special if i missed this
fixed
got back to attaching the base plate. This is the solution for the belt attaching and plat attaching I cam up with
Got around to picking up the ball bearings and packing the bearing carts
This core x,y stuff is pretty cool
