That would probably be a good idea.
Delrin wheels can develop temporary flat spots if pressure is too great. Check to be sure you haven't overtightened the eccentric nuts. Wheels...
With proper gantry plates you shouldn't have any issues pushing down on the roll with 25-30 pounds of force. Simple concept shown below using XL...
300mm. The file attachment issue has been resolved. Sketchup file attached.
Currently discussing that in another thread.
Actually on the Y-axis plates I was thinking more along the lines of the Sphinx build where the smaller interior wheels were left but a row of...
Turn the Z axis gantry around and it'll do 2". Not sure though how well it'll do 2" in aluminum though. You may have problems with chip removal...

Smaller holes are 5.1mm (or 13/64"). Larger holes are 7.14mm (or 9/32"). You can take the smaller holes down to 5mm if desired but the larger...
No nut. The plates are threaded.
Drawings attached. Plates shown full size in pdf file. If you don't have Autocad to open the dwg/dxf files and wish to do so Autodesk Trueview is...
Yes, some of the holes are threaded. So when the plates are turned 90 degrees to each other the screws pass through the smooth holes into the...
