2 Micron Precision Achieved! 🎉
Finally hit that sweet 2-micron precision on the Elara! 🎉 Feels like a huge win dialing in those X, Y, Z axes, ready to bring some watch components to life. 🔧 Curious how we tackled the A axis challenge?

2 Micron Precision Achieved! 🎉
WOW! It’s so exciting!!! We finally reached 2 micron precision on the Elara—across all three axes: X, Y, and Z! 😱
This has been a huge goal, and hitting this level of accuracy means we’re officially ready to start making parts. Every axis is now dialed in, stable, and repeatable—exactly what’s needed for micro-mechanical work like watchmaking. 🔧
The breakthrough came from fixing a tricky issue: since we’re using the A axis to mill, the part is milled, then rotated 180 degrees and milled again. That means the Z and Y axes must be absolutely centered to the A axis. Any offset—even just a few microns—causes a massive misalignment when the part is flipped. 😬
Now that the setup is truly centered and locked in, we’re ready to move forward. Time to bring some real components to life! 🚀
