The common one is 1/35.4 reduction ratio. They also make a 1/89.8 model. Here's a link on the specs: http://www.nmbtc.com/content/pdfs/PG35SD48.pdf
Lol, thanks it is heavy. Casters have helped a bunch. I lack space so I have to move it a lot. I did originally want to go with belt driven...
If I didn't already have the Al plate I'd be interested for sure. Unfortunately I may have to buy new screws since I trimmed mine down to...
I think I'm going to have go with the belt driven triple screw like you have on my build. I'm realizing having 3-4 z-axis motors is a mess. That...
Got the X carriage done and one of the belt paths done. Also laying out the 21"x20"x 1/4" aluminum build plate. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Got some work done on the XY axes. Had to make some dado cuts with my circular saw for my belt paths. Need to finish up my extruder carriage...
runninfarmer published a new build: CoreXY printer with XYZ gantry Read more about this build...
Actually, since openbuilds just came out with 40mm x 40mm V-slot, that would be a perfect subsititute for the 2"x2" extrusion. I just had that...
I don't have one written up, but here's the specs on the parts: QTY Part 2 2"x2"x 12" T-slot 1...
You can get arduino Mega 2560 clone with RAMPS and drivers for $35 here:...
For 3D printing, I would stick with a RAMPs 1.4 board if you're still a little new to it. They're cheap and there's plenty of info on them. They...
You may want to consider over constraining the z-axis towers with wheels on the outside. I know that adds cost and makes it harder for a clean...
I understand your question now, I apologize for not understanding before. I deleted my original comment, since it was rude, my bad. I've been...
I agree, a closed loop belt would be the better way to go.
I think your leadscrew configuration may be easier to setup and maintain in my opinion. With that said, I do like the belt design by Giuliano....
I've done a couple belt driven z-axis builds and I've found keeping good belt tension is paramount to proper performance. I've also implemented...
You could probably use cardboard to insulate the bottom. I made a similar setup, but used 1/8" aluminum plate instead. I used my RAMPs bed output...
Nice lookin build! Is the build plate pretty stable and easy to balance? I'm thinking about implementing your 3 screw design in a build.
Good lookin design Keith! The simplicity of 1 arm machines is too attractive to pass up! Glad you're trying the C-beam concept, I'd like to use...
Hi Buzz_2010, thanks for the compliment. I changed the z-axis over to leadscrew and will post an updated pic later. The tower itself is pretty...
