Haven't figured out how to do it in a single step but as a two step process, it is fairly simple. I just grab the center of the bolt end and drop...
As far as copying build designs and selling them for profit each has its own requirements. Check the design tab on each build for specific...
Install the inner wheels first and adjust them the same way you would normally adjust the wheels on the C-beam system. You'll just have more...
It has nothing to do with "the hobby crowd" or the length of the rails. When standing at the front of the machine, X increases left to right, Y...
It has been argued a number of times here on the forum and the greatest consensus generally comes back to the side rails being the Y-axis and the...
You should pretty much assume that you will need to file one of them down to match the other. Even 1/2 mm makes a substantial difference. Yes....
I just wanted to throw in an additional concept. This is an attempt to simplify as much as possible, using as much off the shelf as I could....
You didn't follow what I was suggesting. You were wanting to eliminate special plates and make this happen with off the shelf components that...
Take a look at the Routy, more specifically the gantry risers on the Routy. You should be able to morph that design using the parts you list into...
That allows for adjustment. Personally I use 20mm even. The actual adjusted wheels generally come up somewhere around 20.3mm.
Hole spacing for V-wheels should be extrusion depth + 19.8mm. In most cases you should be able to oversize the smaller holes to around 7mm and...
I would probably be more inclined to go with HDPE or PTFE or even Igus iglide. Delrin can actually be a bit grippy at times as can be felt with...
The only difference between the build 8.0 and the 8.1 is the spacing of the holes on the plates. The spacing was a bit too close on the 8.0...
I'm just using a carbide 2 flute spiral up-cut, nothing special. I really don't know much about bits or even it this is the correct bit but it...
The jig I use is made up of V-slot and mini V-wheels but the same idea could readily be accomplished out of 1x lumber, using router guide...
If you have a router and a guide bushing, it is fairly simple to set up a jig to run across the ends. Gang all matching extrusions together with...
What do you have it hooked to?
As far as price goes, Dumpster CNC has some pretty good prices on anti-backlash nuts and other fittings for the imperial sized ACME rods. But...
Parts list adjusted for "slightly more travel in the XY-directions". Revisions noted in red. Revisions when cut to 600 mm will give you about 4"...
As every manufacturer may have a different coloring system, it is easiest just to test for the matched pairs by hand. Spin the stepper motor to...
