    Having looked around the forums, Ive seen a few versions of Z Axis control builds generally using 3D printed parts. Not having a 3D printer myself, does anyone know where/who I could purchase a pre built one (3), just looking for something like 10mm movement controlled by servo using Blackbox to attach to my Acro machine.

    thanks.

    No experience with any, but might be 2x as much and 1/2 as slow :)

    But still, not too hard to find a neighbour with a printer

    Just watch out - some designs put a lot of dynamic loads on the Acro that could crack the acrylic plates

    Thanks Alex, dont have any specific designs, almost looking for an off the shelf solution if you know of anything.
