Z-Axis for OpenBuilds ACRO system. It is sturdy enough to carry a small drill.

This was my first attempt for a laser platform. I'm using the OpenBuilds ACRO 20"x40 platform, 6W OptLaser, homemade z height and the xPro driver board.

Z-Axis Upgrade For My Sphinx

Upgraded Z-axis for Sphinx-style CNC using ball screws and linear rails.

Created a small Z axis for the ACRO motion system. I wanted to more easily adjust the height of the laser to accommodate various thicknesses of material, without having to manually loosen screws to adjust. Also wanted to be able to vary the height for multiple cutting passes on some materials. Try to stick to a similar aesthetic as the original ACRO system and plates.

Increase Z axis travel by 20-25mm with minimal modifications

CoreXY Table with Symmetric Lead Screw Z axis, Build volume: 293mm x 290.75mm x 223.83mm

This project shows how to use Openbuilds Vv slot extrusions and wheels to retrofit a Lulzbot Taz 4 or 5 printer. These modifications improve layer consistency, eliminate nozzle and bed sag, and allow for larger toolhead mounting.

modifying ACRO

This is my build for an ACRO system with a custom z-axis for changing z height for focusing or for adjusting depth when making multiple passes when cutting.

This will be a fixed bed, v-slot implemented X,Y,Z axis gantry style 3D printer.

Modified Acro for laser engraving. Extra height and and a sturdy build surface for part fixtures, custom mount plates, OPT Laser, and a Z-Axis.

Open build rovo 1000mm * 1000mm. (Rovo x ver) 20.06.2015 now in progress. rovo kit is the 10th product. 8th rovo 750,9 th rovo1000, 10th rovo x ver progress at the same time. 10th item is an aspect of 1000. It changes the size and z-axis has been up.

A easy to do cheap upgrade for the z axis

Z-Axis upgrade with linear rails, SFU1204 Ball Screw and full aluminium construction.

This is a major redesign to the Z-axis of an otherwise stock Shapeoko 2.
