Mounting your LongMill
To ensure that your machine is mounted securely and accurately, we’ve created a series of steps to help you do so.
We highly recommend following these steps exactly, as the order of these steps matter. You’ll need a computer to
be connected to the machine in order to align it properly.
We will start by checking the tension of the Delrin v-wheels. As we did in the previous steps, we want to make
sure that the wheels barely turn with our fingers by adjusting the eccentric nuts.
We will also properly tension the Delrin anti-backlash nuts. Turn the tensioning screw a little bit at a time. Check
for play by moving the gantry back and forth and seeing if there is any excess movement. Do not over tighten,
usually a half turn is more than enough.
Gently put your LongMill on the mounting surface and shuffle it over roughly where you want it. In this case we’re
using a 4’x4’ MDF sheet as a combination mounting surface and wasteboard which we had cut to 42 inches to
better fit in a car. We’ll be mounting it in the middle and have the electronics box sit off the material to the side.
Move the machine onto your mounting surface. Position it to where you want it.
