**Hardware**
- Note: The linear bearings of the X carriage must be glued in place (use epoxy or similar) since vibrations produced by the spindle motor move the bearings out of place.
- v0.9.7 has an improved Z carriage: uses much less plastic, it holds the spindle tightly and leaves more metal surface exposed for better cooling.
- Idea: We could use a thermistor to measure the temperature of the spindle motor: this way the software could "let it rest" when it gets too hot.

- v0.9.6b has a robust Y axis motor stand (improvement suggested and tested by **Yopero**), and the Z carriage now shows the name of the machine (how cool is that? :P)
**Software**
- Note: The timeout for commands of the edge needs to be increased, since the moves are really slow.

- First Z probing results are promising, read: <https://plus.google.com/u/0/113437723819360223498/posts/9VCHqqnirj6> and <https://plus.google.com/u/0/113437723819360223498/posts/89W2cv1fgQW>
- Added the python probing script (v0.1) and Octave/Matlab visualizer
- Based on PyGerber2Gcode.py script

- Z axis concepts by **Quim Borras** and the spindle motor holder by **Misan** were really useful!! Also, **Diego Viejo**'s machine was of great inspiration for the Z axis (<https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/113930344830086538817/albums/5868944432651911713?authkey=CLDJgdehlN773gE>) **Thank you all!!**
- This design woudn't have been possible without the encouragement of the **Panda CNC community** (<https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/102402711800402614517>)
- Also, thanks to **Obijuan** (<http://iearobotics.com>) for naming the machine Cyclone :)

* _Regarding the woodbase:_ **Guillermo Welch** always contemplated the possibility of attaching the machine (optionally) to a woodbase. I decided to use the base as a main structural part instead.
