The Frame is done.

Or should that be titled "THE FRAME IS DONE!!!!!!!" lol

So I finished the frame up, there is nothing more I can do until the rest of my parts get here next week.

I could have probably just done one rivet per corner, or one per side of the corner, but I wanted a tank and rivets are cheap. I don't want any flex in the frame whatsoever, it is rock solid now, I can't imagine what it will be like several months down the road with sides on it screwed to the corner angle iron.

This is the position that I will most likely move the CoreXY mechanism to but I will decide that later, I won't be putting in the fourth ledge support in until I decide as I wont be able to remove the boar once I do unless I remove the top level that is riveted in, Once I have it together then I will decide and pop the last support in.

The bottom shelf (shelf missing at the moment) will eventually be completely hidden by sides and a front, it will hold the power supply, the circuits, all the horrid wires will connect under there, etc.

It looks mammoth but it is 18" x 18" x 36" tall, if I cut off everything past the CoreXY mechanisms board it would drop the height of the frame by 8" but not the total height of the printer as the board will have motors etc mounted on it so I will probably leave it that tall and let the sides go all the way up hiding and making a noise barrier between me and the motors, gears, etc.
