You say this is for the HD3. I have the HD Pro. How do I know if it is an HD3, 4 etc?
With minor changes fully feasible, if the machine has gantry rails that are supported, 20mm in diameter, and 5.25" center-to-center,
and it uses the circular anti-backlash t-nuts, then it will almost certainly work. We'll exchange pictures of the machine well before
any decisions are made, to be sure.

Rando

Why did this turn political? I didn't see anything where cromag brought it up or support the coup.
I'm happy your guy won, Rando, but let's leave politics out of it going forward please.
The quality of your aluminum upgrades speaks for itself. Any of us would be proud to own it.

Wow. I thought this was about upgrading a gantry.
My reply was to @rando . My HD Pro does flex when machining. It is not always visible but shows up in some of the tolerances.
This is what mine looks like

I’m brand new to the forum and just came across your upgrade. Any chance you have one more left for an HD3? I tried PM but because I’m new that feature is not active.

...all that said, I'm seeing no more takers, so I'm going to move on to the next project(s) very soon.
Yes, people: if you want one of these, you need to act now. After Feb, I won't even take orders
for them anymore. There will be no web site you will find them at, they won't be on Amazon or
eBay or any other place. As of 21 Jan 2021, I have most of the parts and materials for two more.
If you want one, now is the time. You snooze, you lose.
