Im just waiting on my small radiator for the spindle cooling system and tying up some loose ends but I should be up and running soon. I keep...
Hey thanks for the reply. I think I'm going to get comfortable with the machine before I dive into the ballscrew upgrade but I will definitely...
Anyone know if it would be ok to run my spindle cable in the drag chain next to the stepper and limit cables? All three are shielded with drains...

Hi Daz, I have been following your build and really like your ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I pushed down on my spindle this morning and it actually moves a little and I'm not sure if it's the end of the leadscrews moving in the flange...
I'm just saying that leadscrews with AB nuts have more rotational resistance than a ballscrew. I adjusted my extreme wheels until there was no...
The one thing I don't like about leadscrews is the resistance they create when compensating backlash. Add that with the resistance from the wheels...
Hi Dankarghh, I will definitely post anything I figure out. I ran into the same issue with the larger ball nuts. I'm debating going with the 12mm...
Is this documented in the morning one of your build? I've been pondering future ballscrew upgrades. I think if I go that route, I will ditch the...
Would you mind sharing your source for the .5" ball screws? I'm very interested in using something like this.
Hi Stargeezer, I began my CNC journey with designing my own machine around linear profiles and ballscrews. I soon found out that either I would...
Thank you Anthony! I really appreciate the comment. :)
Awesome build! I'm building a Sphix currently but I really like what you're doing here. I'll be following this closely.
Do you have any way of cutting some plain aluminum stock? Something like 6mm thick? I think that table would work but if you look on the open...
Those ball screws used in that build I shared with you are actually pretty cheap. Lookup RM1605 on Ebay. Don't order any screws until you figured...
Yeah I think that frame is a good starting point and you could double up your extrusions and change the design a little bit or you could buy some...
CNC Router Aluminium by nic6911 I think you should build a machine similar to this one. You can use most all of the parts you have.
Hey Rick what is the proper way to adjust the eccentrics? Is removal of the carriages the only way? I worry that as I create a tighter fit, the...
Thanks Rick! I'm completely new to this type of linear guide. Im trying to make this machine as tight as possible. Hey I have another question:...
