Next stage will be:

* Finish all final connections that do not involve enclosure
* Install new X axis thrust bearings
* Verify geometry due to disassembly (Z axis finished, need to do X and Y)
* Refurbish way covers
* Install way covers

After that

* Jog pendent
* Control panel and touch screen

Then enclosure, enclosure light, and final tuning of everything. Will work on a new GUI after I am throwing chips all over the enclosure.

Got awhile to go due to lack of time available right now.

Don't forget to share your latest INI and HAL files . They really helps others trying to do retrofits .

I was able to use the one from work to align the umbrella. Saved me $1200+

The tool has the 40 taper flange, adapter (goes in your tool pocket on umbrella) and then the centering pin. Keep adjusting umbrella assembly until everything is aligned. Snug bolts and recheck, then final tighten. I checked pockets ~90° from the next one so I had 4 points aligned with no issue.

Looks something like this.
