If you're wanting to use the corner holes for screws to hold the plates together there is no place to put a nut on the other end of the screw as...
These two projects are probably a good starting point. UK40OB K40 12x24in rebuild (In Original Case)
As a random thought (which may or may not work) measure your bit extension from the collet and drill a hole in a small block of wood to the same...
Posted a few days back: Double sided gantry plate.
If it's not in the resource section then it is probably not available. Only a very small percentage of the forum uses SW in their designs and any...
That drawing is probably accurate but there are times that slight modifications are made to the designs by the home office to improve fit which...
Counterweight it so it naturally wants to stay put wherever you let go and then just use a simple spring loaded friction brake against the...
The best person to ask that would be @Mark Carew. PM him and explain your situation. This may be an opportunity for both sides...
OpenBuilds prides itself on being part of the open source community and to that end all the designs are open source. The only area that has...
The pictures were pulled from the Sketchup file for the LEAD Machine (the Sketchup file can be found under the Files and Drawings tab). A similar...

Note to @yekcoh, these plates were not specifically designed to mate at a 90 degree orientation like the larger plates so you will need to do a...
They are just simple block drawings in autocad, really nothing special. Compare what you see in the video with the main picture in OpenBuilds...
The issue here is frame sway and while using C-Beams for the verticals will lessen the amount of the sway it's really not the best way to solve...
I have to agree with what Kevon said, lower the base rather than raising the Z-axis. Raising the Z-axis just adds flexibility into the system...
You might talk to igus and see if you can get a sample of their iglide filament to try out.
Probably the cheapest option but the question is will you have a fully viable machine once replaced? Easily done and not all that expensive but...
