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

How to build an Independent Dual EXtruder (IDEX) 3D printer from OpenBuilds parts.

My goals for this build were to eliminate slop and flex while also allowing easy serviceability.

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.

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

Modular and Scalable CoreXY Printer with all metal parts.

Based on the WorkBee CNC, this is an oversized router built with a specific use-case in mind, for manufacutring beehives, and beehive components

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.

A cabinet to keep a constant temperature for pizza or bread mother dough to grow.

Hopefully an upgrade of the Z axis of the Workbee.

I built the lathe as a dedicated rotary axis, but I soon realized I could have a back up CNC for very little expense.

OLD Lead 1010 High Z Mod converted to Newest Lead 1515 with High Z mod, slimmer cbeam motor mounts, thrust bearings etc. Extended by original table out and upgraded my 1.5kw VFD and Spindle to 4kw ER20 Spindle and 7.5kw GT VFD

The Multi Z adds multiple Z axis to a LEAD CNC Machine allowing it to cut and carve 2 to 3 times the amount of projects in the tame it takes to make just one

It's a Z floating head idea. Works well. Recommend cleaning the inside of your holes well with Q tips, and polishing the 1/4-20 bolts with car wax and you won't need oil as it slides perfectly. Hope this helps
