For your stated purposes, screws would probably be better.
This suggestion was from a post a while back, using square steel bar set in with JB Weld or something similar. It would provide steel to steel...
I'm really not sure the lack of bottom wheels out at the front face of the gantry beam is a good idea. While the top wheels will support the...
Ronald, How are you fitting eccentric spacers to the matching wheels on the bottom side? [ATTACH]
Any of the C-beam based Ox derivatives will do what you seek. You can either recess the end rail back several inches to where you can clamp the...
I've been using epoxy based spray paint (appliance paint) on some bolts to get them filled out to fit the bearings on a project I've been working...
If you are wanting to go with tension on the screws you should consider using thrust bearings. Also have you checked the size of the screws? The...
You have finally mastered simplicity. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: (Light years worth of growth since your first effort.)
Sorry no kit. There was a brief foray into speed reduction in the parts store but that was for speed reduction on C-Beam systems and it has been...
Best suggestion would be to look around the 3d printer section of the forum at some of the larger builds there and ask those builders about their...
The longer it gets, the less beefy it feels. You'll find it flexes with minimal pressure. So yes, you should go up a size. As to what size, I...
Whipping is when you spin something attached at the ends along its axis and the center kicks out sideways and swings in a large arc, kind of like...
The extrusion is 6063-t5. (6063 anodizes better.) McMaster-Carr has a wide selection of screws in 6' lengths and Dumpstercnc has the...
I think it has something to do with all those pretty little boxes at the bottom of the page but I have no clue how to use them.... [ATTACH]
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/by/openbuilds (Scroll down.) I assume these work but as they are all saved in a higher version than my computer...
There is no exact length with the regular V-slot. Extrusions are cut to standard mill tolerances which could be anywhere from +0 to +5mm. And...
You're getting a little beyond my experience level with that one. But I think you are overestimating the amount of tension being applied. I...
Thanks, but I've used a lot of these bearings to the point that they have almost become second nature. The current project I'm working on will...
Applying axial tension across regular bearings is not a good idea as it cross-loads the balls and quickly locks them up. Best solution would be...
Generally they have things on the truck within two business days but due to the sale over the weekend, the shipping guys are probably a bit...
