Mechanics I would look at first before assuming electrical: With power to the steppers is there any play in the x and y. when pushing by hand....
piccy, what wall thickness do you have on that box Al?
I like your ingenuity.;)
That's a lot to unpack Rob. It's def. doable. I think it isn't worth the trouble. A constant pressure rack and pinnion system like the one used...
something funny about those wheels huh? what would you have used instead? Are you satisfied with the linear rail?
what were you using to make the changes?
I don't see this as a viable OX upgrade. It sure is cool though. Maybe for another machine. Good find Serge
Very interesting design. Congrats
Bearings are usually rated for a specific load. Manufacturers will usually pack them with lube up to that load rating. The issue is that higher...
Nice find gray. I like that z design. It addresses some problems. Overall, looks like a well thought out hobby machine.
No prob. Adding, some bearing grease will breakdown and dilute when certain oils are added. The bearings will roll much smoother and seems to be...
Tool and jig aluminums are nice, but their relaxed state and fine grain makes them susceptible to warpage at lower temps than their stressed...
No stroom. They're lubed already and will last quite a while.
Hey G. Bunch of questions for your experience. Do you have any stepper recommendations for the Im slide and the heavier spindle? I want to do...
Then your probably on the right track. There are some great builds around here and some nice folks too. I do have a machine in development. The...
Any hand router that you can chuck up on the z really. Dewalt 611's (at 2.2lbs) are nice imo, but others around are having good results with other...
That's too heavy for the base OX. You'll have to reinforce the gantry to reduce torsion. Check hyteck s build. He's getting ready to mount that...
TinyG for sale. Pm me :)
Not quite sure if PC was a wise choice for this application. Are these molded or machined?
The leadshine multiaxis controllers are another option. 60vdc 6.0A , no trimpots, resistors, or db9's to mess with, and plenty of I/O's. Like the...
