Initial fitting of the bed. 12"x12"x1/4" (305x305x6mm) aluminum tool plate. looks like I will need to add some standoffs to get more distance...
I am using an anti-backlash nut on my printer.
Here is the script for the left glide. I tested out some of the parameters and the NutLength does adjusts the length of the mounting screws, it...
Forgot to include the base STL that script works with.
Took a quick look at the code and was able to knock out a quick change for this. This is only for the right side. The left one will be about the...
I could apply the modifications to the 20x20 version since that part isn't effected by the width. However, the brass nuts used are not universal...
I used OpenSCAD to cut and paste the original part so there are no changes to the part other than the width in that area.
Going to reprint the glides and inserts. I used the same layout you have in the STL file and it looks like this... [ATTACH] Is this what you...
I was able to scale up the insert so they fit tight. I'll try re-orientating them as you describe and see what happens. Even with the tight fit,...
For the Z Glide Bushings (the part the nylon rod goes into), you mention there being a taper to them. Is it just the bushing part with the taper...
I used eSun PLA+ (sometimes called PLA Pro) and it was only for the two nuts on the screw for setting the 30mm length for mounting. Everything...
I printed my own ACME Nylon nuts (well, PLA) for my lead screws. :) Seems the nylon nuts I ordered have gotten lost between somewhere over there...
I had forgotten about the 0.9 degree motors (400 steps). Will have to think about that. But is 0.02mm layer height going to be that much better...
Clear as mud? Right? :) Just to cloud things up, microstepping is fine if used to move from one full step to the next. Just don't end the...
I believe so. At least I will be using the second case of 0.02mm when I get my printer finished.
I have not found anything yet to decode the TR values. I have seen 4 start screws labeled as both TR8*2 and TR8*8. The important things to know...
I think you are getting the terms "pitch" and "lead" mixed up. It is the "lead" that is important in the calculation. As the picture I posted...
So in regards to the Z steps and using a lead screw. A lot of the screws, like the ones from OpenBuilds, are 2mm screw pitch, but that is the...
I'm getting tired of waiting for these nylon nuts to show up so looking at switching to the ACME rods I have. I have 40 tooth 8mm bored pulleys...
Thanks. Not really sure where the tapered spacers would go.
