Just a thought - if you have strategically placed holes in your spoiler board you could (using a magnetised screwdriver to hold the screw) fasten...
I think you are underestimating the ability of MDF to change shape when it absorbs moisture (as it will) and the forces it can exert when it does...
Fusion 360's version of trochoidal milling (in 3D) is called SPIRAL. Couldn't find anything similar in 2D, but there are various ramp options as...
Are you saying that the flexible coupler is compressing when you press up on the Z axis, or is it moving sideways. In either case there must be a...
You need to pull the wires fairly tight to stop them snagging on the wheels and fix in place with a cable tie or two using the holes on the right...
Must be - theres only one place it can go. The only mistake you might have made (I can't see from your pictures) is putting the X axis plate with...
Take the white connector in your second picture off by carefully pushing down the springy metal tab (thin screwdriver) you can see through the...
Colin - have you fitted your Z axis limit switch? I can't see it's wire in your pics. It really needs to be fitted before you fully assemble the X...
Back it off until you've got the leadscrew in and running OK. You will probably find that there is no detectable backlash with a new nut and you...
It's only the Z axis limit switch at this stage - it is fitted in the middle of the X gantry plates you are assembling at the moment. Alex.

The Z axis adjusting screw is accessible (just) although a longer than average Allen key will probably help. The locknut for it is not unless you...
Hi Colin, when a leadscrew turns in one direction the thread presses against the thread in the nut. When it starts to turn in the other direction...
Yes indeed, I broke the printed mounting bracket for the Y drag chain yesterday, contacted Oozenest expecting to pay for a replacement to be told...
Just to undo the confusion I caused: on the Y gantry of the workbee I shouldn't have used the term "anti backlash nut" - the workbee uses two...
Should do fine Colin. Alex.
Like I said, I use a silicon spray lubricant I get from Toolstation. Screwfix do a WD40 silicon spray (not to be confused with WD40 oily stuff)...
Hi Colin, have you adjusted the eccentrics for maximum clearance - 6mm mark to the outside. Mine felt a bit tight to start with - the C beam moved...
You'll need to check with Oozenest, but they seem to have discontinued the Ox - it's no longer on their website. If you buy the Makita from...
