Just wanted to post a very brief update. The work on the stepper motors is underway. Each one is getting wired to the cable assembly that had been done in the previous updates. In addition the acme leadscrews have arrived and will be cut to length soon.

Work for the next week includes: Continued casting of the z-axis components which should take another 2-3 weeks (although we are working on another set of molds to help speed the process up). Finishing the motor assemblies and starting on some of the MDF components. Sending out the first rewards for the sub-$100 backers.
