− | 1. Waste board repaired or replaced. Entire board is unsupported in the middle, causing it to sag. Also, one stud has pulled up a volcano-like mountain in one part of the waste board, and needs to be milled down. Recommend getting two $7 20mmx20mmx300mm extrusions (from Inventables or elsewhere) and T-nuts to support it in the middle (this is a common upgrade for this particular machine). | + | 1.

− | 2. V-wheels/bearings on all axis need to be adjusted to a tighter tolerance. Some are not making contact, gantry is not square to waste board, and spindle is not square either. | + | 2. V-wheels/bearings on all axis need to be adjusted to a tighter tolerance. Some are not making contact.. |

− | 3. Spindle PWM, both power supplies, and perhaps the GRBLShield should be mounted in a compact, fan-cooled enclosure. I'd love said enclosure to be part of a full machine enclosure that incorporates noise suppression, interior lighting, and dust collection.

− | 4. Finish Homing and limit switches. They need some RF shielding/Google troubleshooting (search "Limit switch noise GRBL"), as well as adjustable limit-switch contacts on the positive X and Y axis.

− | 5. General wiring clean-up and sheathing: some connectors have bare leads exposed, and I'd love to clean up the build by sheathing many of the wires.
