Nice shot of the leadscrew @8:34 !!!
What is going on November 20th 2017, Agustin comes to the shop to check out the 3d printer, while Shane prints the cross sections for prototype a planes wheel nut and discusses with Agustin the process of manufacturing for checking it's fit applying shrink tubing insulate wires and Santi finishes the first operation on cnc lathe for some on nozzles inserts the last lead screw on a 3d printer also Shane shows his broken toes.

is a Texas-based company that designs and manufactures 3d printing systems and technologies. While the company may have a wide range of products the main focus is on open modular machine design. The idea is to have a family of modular machine components that can be switched out for a range of different applications. If you need to use Nema 23’s instead of Nema 17’s, no problem. We have a component for that. If you want to jump from belt driven to leadscrew, we have a component for that. Our products are designed to be used universally or with other machines or just in any suitable configuration.

![New Motor Mounts
We finally CNC machined some new motor mounts for the z axis on the Workhorse 3d printer.

What makes this machine unique is that it uses lead screw on all three xyz axis. The all metal design is so rigid that its pretty much a cnc mill. We went with lead screw motion so that we could print with clay, chocolate and use a pellet extruder.
