1/8th aluminum Y plate

I know it’s a funny question but if you’ve got a dust extractor, why not fiberglass first and THEN cut the parts out?

In a general sense, glass and resin are expensive, and they wear through tools quickly. Although for a roughly rectangular plate I think that’s a great option.

@Robertblackburn, correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s what I understand you had said you were going to do with the new piece, right?

Yes I glassed the ply, got estlecam to do 2 copies with the XY set at the very middle of the epoxied glass and away we went. Managed to get it done and it is perfect

Then used the old mdf one as a template to drill out the stepper holes.

Have reassembled and will give it a run tonight.
