**Cyclone PCB Factory V2.0 was developed in the department of innovation and robotics at [bq](http://www.bq.com/)**
**V2.1 incorporates:**
V2.0 addresses all the issues from the original design, and implementing improvements by yOPERO, Martin Zabojnik and others.
* [Source code improvements](https://github.com/carlosgs/Cyclone-PCB-Factory/pull/33) by [Arne Durr (D-Byte)](https://github.com/D-Byte).
* An [aluminium spindle holder](https://github.com/carlosgs/Cyclone-PCB-Factory/pull/40) by [Marc Muntada (quikshot)](https://github.com/quikshot).
* There is also [a folder](master/bq_additions) with the version by [Pedro de Oro](https://github.com/PedroDeOro) and [Luis Díaz](http://diwo.bq.com/author/ldiaz/) from bq, with small aditions that simplify the assembly process.
* Daniel Evrard has [assembled Cyclone in Sketchup](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/cyclone-pcb-factory/1TpFxE7avRo/EBSx7ouy9GwJ) which can be very useful as a template.
* Thanks must also go to [ve3sjk](https://github.com/ve3sjk), [joco-nz](https://github.com/joco-nz), Aisflow, Yiannis Mandravellos, Samuel Kranz and [yOPERO](https://github.com/yOPERO) for their constructive discussions and support.

* Endstop integration for Z (integrated probe?)
* Re-implement/Improve the Z carriage, currently inherited from Cyclone V1
* There is a [long discussion](https://github.com/carlosgs/Cyclone-PCB-Factory/issues/32) in regards to the re-design of the Z carriage (currently inherited from Cyclone V1)
* The improvements in [bq_additions](bq_additions) need to be parameterised into the OpenScad design.
