Remounting my print bed
-
@TLeTourneau It's just aluminum. You can cut it with many types of saws, including a hack saw. Machining is not required...

Yeah but I don't want to make my print bed smaller.

I learned something this weekend, I'm not a machinist!
Although I gave it a valiant effort I wasn't able to create the new side support bars for my bed out of the 1.5" x 3/8" 6061-T6511 aluminum bar. Although I had a vice on my drill press I was not able to get the holes for the lead screws and guide rods centered and square to each other on the bars. I've contacted a local machine shop and they should have them made for me in a week or two. I may put a small milling or CNC machine on my wish list for the future.
