alt=\"EM-LMP rev 4\" src=\"http:\/\/amberspyglass.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/LMPv4-300x283.png\" width=\"180\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a>I have a new design for the eShapeOko motor plate (EM-LMP). \u00a0Four of them are used in a machine, two for the gantry ends (which run on the Y rails), and two for the front and rear of the X carriage. \u00a0The new design has a second NEMA23 hole pattern, higher up and rotated 45\u00b0. \u00a0It improves the contact between the belt and the pulley for a flush-mounted motor.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, the new motor plate\u00a0has holes compatible with both the standard acetal V-wheels and the smaller steel V-groove bearings.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to get my hands on the prototypes on Monday or Tuesday, and test them. \u00a0They are the missing component for an eShapeOko with hardcoat anodized MakerSlide. \u00a0If I did not make any stupid mistakes, I&#8217;ll start selling the bare plates in the store in about a week, and the &#8220;black edition&#8221; eShapeOko a little later.<a href=\"http:\/\/amberspyglass.co.uk\/blog\/2013\/08\/23\/motor-plate\/lmpv4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-326\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<div
