Thanks for the explanation Marshall. It makes sense to me. I will just use some lead screws.
I have noticed that in all the 3D printer builds have seen, the Z axis is always lead screw driven. Is there some specific reason why it can not...
3 different nozzles available, one of them has holders built in for 12mm line pointer lasers to aid in alignment. Just pay for shipping. Leave...
This is one of the joys of building using Openbuilds Vslot and accessories, you can tweak the build process throughout the build., as you...
I would definitely choose the outside option, you will acheive a greater degree of stifness. and as you said you can protect the leadscrew.
You can trim the Cbeam with a woodworking chop saw. More theeth the better on the blade.
No real rush as I have enough projects on the go to last me until judgement day...lol
Well, I am a patient man, I will continue to follow this build and just wait until you say it is done, then I will attempt to recreate what you...
Has this build been finalized to the point that if I start building it, there will not be any major changes before I am finished? I really like...
Amother option would be to use some cbeam extrusion for the X axis
OK,thanks for the update.
Personally I would not make the X larger than 750, Y is OK at 1500. If you want to make the X axis longer, I would look at upgrading it to a CBeam...
ANy update on when the stl files will be published? I would really like to make one of these.
What an elegant little machine. I love it! I am now planning on building a couple for myself. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I like the concept of a versatile multi purpose machine. The only concern I have is the CNC milling function you want to add. It may be able to...
Mary, i COULD USE ONE OR TWO OF THE CABLES IF THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE. Thanks
My build log for the L'FOX OX derivative seems to have been rolled back to June 28th, 2016. None of the updates I have made since then are showing...
Will you be releasing the stl files for the 3d printed parts?
Careful using any cleaner on the rails if you are using the Xtreme v wheels, they recomend using only a silicon based lubricant. SO make sure any...
Have you worked out the issues with play on the axis's?
