Happy New Year guys! I am back to work again...

Installed the R-axis and the Z-axis clamping frame.

The Z-axis is up!

Took quite a while to connect all the cables, tweaking the screws/nuts/tension wires to level the machine and it is basically done!

After cleaning all the bloody mess in the office, I extended the baseboard using extra MDF panels with rubber mats added underneath. That really stabilised the machine (Thanks for the suggestion from Erin and mrick39!). The black & yellow warning tape that comes in the package is a nice touch.

Running the very first test using a random speaker that I built some years ago. I have to say that the hardcopy manual from Klippel missed quite a few little details, I learnt from Erin and his video to get it started correctly (later on I found that the Klippel online manual is much more comprehensive...)
As you can see the computer desk is in an awkward location but there is no better place for it in the office for now. A funny moment to share with you guys - I started my first measurement with excitement standing in front of the desk but I didn't know how it would move at the beginning, then I saw the arm swinging toward me...
Anyway it was all good. Now I need to figure out a better place/way to set up the PC and the Klippel equipment, as well as learn all the details about the software settings.
Can't wait to start measuring the prototypes of my new designs!
