Solenoid Hole Guide

Hey there, Nathan here again! Because the holes in the aluminum side plates weren't perfect due to being turret punched by hand, We needed some machine-accurate way of aligning the holes. I chose to 3D print a side plate that fits behind the aluminum that solved three issues at once! The solenoid holes are now spaced correctly, and alignment is much better. All the adjustability that was causing issues with reliability has been removed and the gantry is much stiffer. Also, the bolts are no longer too long for the solenoids!
