Yes, but rignt now have 2 boards to finish laying out that are
already paid for and need to be in, and Ebay sales are 2 ahead of what
I've built for lights so have to be done in the next day or two. So
likely a week maybe two before I even get to working on it. Self
aligned as it was built, it'll pretty much have to come apart and be
rebuilt to show how to align it. Not that bad but likely a 2-3
afternoon job to take decent pictures and write it up. Plus Z axis
motor and motor boxes need to be changed first too.
