Amazing work, and really good documentation. It brings me back to Darren's project in so many ways. You learned what we should have learned sooner, that you can buy the LH threaded rod in 1.25" for so much less than it takes to make it.
One question though, had you given any consideration to switching over to ballscrews on the X & Y while it was all apart? That could have afforded making it at least a two axis CNC for reasonable cost.
Anyhow, nice machine and you'll really appreciate having the increased mass, power and travel to work with in the future.
