If it is a design like the LEAD Machine using the OpenBuilds Cbeam gantry plates you can opt to go for 2 nut blocks. They go on the edges of the...
What size pulleys do you have on the motors? How did you come up with your number of 26.666667 for the microstepping? I thought the Acro used 14...
Now I definitely want to build a plasma cutter!
I got my recent order pretty quickly. I think it shipped the next day. Unfortunately, I forgot to order the 2 main items I wanted - 2 250 mm 2020...
