A easy to do cheap upgrade for the z axis

My original Tevo Tarantula kit was ok..... I had issues with the X gantry staying level. I got rid of the wheels and replaced them with linear block bearings. I still had some issues with the X gantry. I swapped out the plastic parts with aluminum which was much better. Still not what I want yet

My upgraded OpenBuilds Lead 1515

Hopefully an upgrade of the Z axis of the Workbee.

I'm new to this whole process, so this is a build by a newbie for newbies.

XLarge with ZLarge

I have constructed frame out of 1 1/2" square tubing. Have my Y aces mounted. and awaiting parts.

Similar to C-Beam Machine build, but with inverted Y-axis assembly to shield drive screw. Integrated XZ gantry can be fixed to any solid surface. Build dimensions are 36" x 36" x 6".

I wanted a CNC machine that was able to do dovetails and other box joints. I also wanted to have it be able to tilt so it would take up less space when I was working on other projects.

I have parts that are apparently not suited to a cnc router or a 3d printer. I am still trying to figure out what to make out of what I have,

Hoping to build a WorkBee 1000 x 1000 (2000) from parts and not a kit, cannot afford the kit in full so going the long way round...

Instructions to build an open-source off-grid medical instrument sterilizer that can be used by aid workers in places without reliable electrical power

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

A Journey on the WorkBee Build...

Modify a Gen1 Cube printer into a small cnc router to cut pcbs and light (VERY light) milling work. Also easy to swap out the rotary head and mount a laser head for engraving.

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