When I ordered mine somewhere around the start of November ( I believe? ) they pretty much immediately informed me about parts like the X-Controller, Probe and Clamps being on back order and supposedly shipping like 2 weeks later. The last part, the X-Controller, arrived during the first week of January so while they were pretty much upfront about parts arriving later the date it actually did was slightly amiss ;}

But hey… Waiting for it gave me enough time to learn more about Fusion 360 which probably occupied most of my mental resources in this new Project - Something I’d still highly recommend using.

**Things I can recommend so far:**

- A 0.5mm shim between the ACME Delrin Nut and the Spindle Mount
- Blue LockTite for any Screw without a Nylock Nut
- A Fishscale to calibrate the Belt tension
- Activate Soft Limit Switches ( $20=1 )
- [This Probing Macro](https://community.inventables.com/t/manual-touchplate/18758/6) by BillArnold

**Things I already added to the X-Carve:**

- A [DeWALT 611 Relay Box](https://community.inventables.com/t/humble-beginnings/32880/4) for those using a 230V System making use of the Side Board  
( The Relay gets hooked to the PWM Terminal, not the 0-10V one )
- A [Tool Storage Plate](https://www.inventables.com/projects/tool-storage--2) also making use of the Side Board
- The Y-Axis Stiffening and Side Cover MODs

**Things I’m planning to add to it:**

- A Dust Shoe - Standing next to it with a Vacuum gets old REALLY fast
- A Y-Axis Homing Switch Stopper on the right Rail to quickly align both sides if necessary

**Things not to do:**

- Using a HSS Bit on MDF - It’ll ruin the Bit fast \>\_\>  
( Use Carbide ones instead )
