Worked on axis motor side FreeCAD file. Found out nut catchers were on the opposite side of the part -my bad. So far have assembled part 1. Next is to perform the exploded part assembly. File:EPA universal axis motor side part1.fcstd
Apr 10-17, 2017
Worked on axis motor side FreeCAD file for roughly 7 hours. Had trouble interpreting script while creating FreeCAD drawings. Uploaded work thus far for CAD file.
