Thank you Peter.

Thank you for posting the BK3 manual Peter, but there are two page 5's (6.jpg and 7.jpg) and no page 6.

Yes. The lid is in two parts because of the very deep recess. Doing it in one piece would use too much support material.

Here's my version that I made some years ago.

I run F360 quite happily on my ancient machine that has a Core i5-4460 processor, NVIDIA Geforce GT 705 graphics., and 12GB memory. Native Win10.

I use Cura with an Ultimaker 3. Unfortunately, it turns out that shrinkage varies between different makes of PLA, and even different colours from the same maker.

As others have said, replace the 1ph motor with a 3ph motor and a VFD. As a general rule of thumb, when running a motor with a VFD, the motor will give constant torque when run at frequencies at or below it's rated frequency (ie 50Hz in UK or 60Hz in USA), and constant power at frequencies...

A rear-mounted tool-post is one of the best ways of reducing parting-off chatter.
