Hey Evan, here's what I came up with. I ended up saving the thickness of the extrusion and mounted the z rails direct to the plate. Had to move...
I'm trying the other configuration now. It's not just ease of mounting, it's also order of operations. To make this work, I need to drill a...
Made my x plate today. I got the opportunity to make it on a CNC mill, so I put two sets of holes in it. One for using 20x100 extrusion to provide...

This is the best I can come up with for ball screw placement. It doesnt increase overall width, allows the steppers to stay stationary, and is...
Hello all, First post here. Some background (will try to keep this short). Building an OpenBuilds frame based DIY machine. Its mix of C-beam,...
