Finally, the parts list (bill of materials) for the eShapeOko kit is on the wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I ordered the fasteners yesterday. \u00a0Everything was in stock, so they will be here on Monday and I can start divvying them up into kits, to get a head start. \u00a0I’m not looking forward to counting washers! \u00a0Luckily, I have a small set of scales, so I can weigh them instead (and add a couple extras, just to be sure).<\/p>\n

There will be two dual-X upgrades. \u00a0Both include four extra V-wheels, but they differ in how they keep the distance between the X plates, and what distances they allow between the X rails. \u00a0Kit A uses standard bolts and nylon spacers, and works only with the two X rails touching each other, back to back (or bolted together, but no fasteners are included for that). \u00a0Kit B needs some M5 threaded rod which I’ll have to cut in pieces. \u00a0It is adjustable, and it allows the X rails to be as far as 40mm apart. \u00a0Kit B is a little stiffer: the nuts can be tightened more, because there are no nylon spacers to worry about. \u00a0It is also more difficult to assemble, and will probably end up costing a little more.<\/p>\n
