It's not the screws, it's the plates. The recesses are 9.0mm in diameter when they should be 9.2mm according to the published drawings. And I have...
Sanding is generally no longer necessary as the current batches of lead screws are rolled slightly smaller than the lead screws were at the time...
The magic behind the GT3 belts that OpenBuilds uses is that they are narrow enough to fit in the slot and run beneath the wheels. Wider belts are...
Unlike the head on a 3D printer, the CNC router head puts a lot of back force on the system as it is cutting. By moving the motors with the gantry...
