Alfred, if you have a 3d printer just print the adapter. Print it with 100% infill and you'll be surprised how well it will work. No need to...
The backlash is still there only it spreads on a larger circumference and is therefore way less noticeable. I use Mach3 and it has a setting to...
When you say 'Tightened everything' do you also mean the belt itself? It should be tight like a guitar string with very little sag when you push...
LOL, Batcrave, just buy some wheels and have them for 'just in case' and figure out the rest later! :D :D
If you really got a NEMA 24 stepper than I think that's the problem since the kit is designed for the NEMA 23 steppers. You may have to make an...
LOL, ignorance is bliss! Only after reading your comment did a light go on in my head. I googled my VFD and lo and behold the third option was a...
That looks like backlash. Check that you don't have a loose belt, if that's what you use or a loose pulley (screw not tight). Search this forum...
Does that include VFD? I just set up a connection for my VFD with one of those yesterday! I didn't try it yet so I can't say how good it is but if...
The reason why I always change them, on all my machines, to regular Allan screws.

I agree with Griac about the stepper size. My Gantry (the X axis) is overall 58" with a 1.5kw air cooled spindle. The Y axis has two NEMA 23...
I was not so thorough. I just used #8 wood screws to mount the rails in the plywood. I figured that with so many screws per rail they would hold...
I 3d printed two PETG mounts for my Fake-ita and it's so solid you can't move it if you pressed all day long on the router. I would have used it...
Looks very solid. I'll take a look at the .step file and 'steal' some ideas, if you don't mind. :D
I made mine from 2x4s only and man is it solid. I have a sheet of 3/4" plywood on top of the frame and on top of that I have a sheet of 3/4" MDF....
You have a little amount of backlash. It's in the axis that cuts left to right (or vice versa) in the picture you've posted. Backlash can have...
I haven't posted my machine build here, or anywhere else for that matter, but on my CNC I'm using SBR16 rails except for the Z axis where I use...
That's an interesting choice you did here. I had done it with the belt teeth meshing together. Bonus effect is you don't even have to clamp them...
The convention is that X0 and Y0 is at the bottom left of the machine where X goes left and right and Y goes forward and back. I would recommend...
Keith, have you ever tried PTEG? And if yes, how did you print it, with the spray? I tried it on a flex bed and it stuck to it like s*it to hair...
