3D printed motor mounts.
Bottom rails are not tall enough to clear the belt. Poor measuring on my part.

That’s better.
I need to reprint the actual motor mount as it’s only 10% infill and it’s being compressed when I snug down the two mounting cap screws. 40%-50% infill would be better.

Notes to self...
Jobs left to do:
1) wire axis drivers
2) wire spindle driver
3) wire servo brake
4) wire proximity switches
5) wire cut-off switches
6) make chips :cool:

The Vevor enclosure I'm using has a rectangular opening at the bottom with a removable panel which I presume is to be drilled for cable glands etc.

All my motor cable have plugs on both ends so I threw together a rough design for cable management and holding. None of the dimensions are correct.
This will attach to one end of the opening, provide enough space for 3 axis servos, the spindle servo and proximity switches.

Are the contacts not removable from the connector? You would need the removal tool but you wouldn't need to build a new panel,,,,,, never mind, that would just keep you ahead of schedule leaving the rest of us farther behind. ;) lol
The power cables for the servos have phoenix plugs which I removed to pass them through the cable clamps. The only one that’s a problem is the encoder cable for the spindle motor as it has a massive plug on one end and DB15 plug on the other end. I think I’m just going to cut a slot in the black panel and then design and print a clamp so it can’t pull out.
