What is the better one of the two ? I noticed that the C beam is a smaller solution which will result in more workspace in the same size. But the ox style could be more stable but not sure.. What to choose, any suggestions/pro's/cons?? Starting a new build next week i only have to make a choice for the z axis style and the router... which should be available in europe..
I started out with a "traditional" Ox Z axis, and was never completely satisfied with how rigid it was. Recently replaced the original Z axis with a C-Beam linear actuator, and I couldn't be more pleased. Much stiffer than the original design. Also gave me more usable depth for long bits. Check the discussion under the "Cebu" build. If I (personally) was going to start a new build, I would use the C-Beam for Z. Cebu | OpenBuilds
I've chosen the C-Beam linear actuator for the Z axis! Ordered the parts which should arrive in couple of days! Thanks for the help!
