slm222 published a new build: A easy to do cheap upgrade for the z axis Read more about this build...
I have an idea and I am looking for a partner to help on the modeling aspect to figure out the proper dimensions for an offset between the...
any update?
did you document the process of installing that z-axis?
Instead of a threaded rod I was thinking of getting 4 m5x90mm socket head screws. And cut off the extra length.
how has tying the carriage wheels together with the threaded rod helped the stability? i find my x-carve has some front to back deflection
Great info. With that software can you account for the plasma path to cut on the inside or outside of the design respectively?
Good Deal! I look forward to your outcome
Looks really good thus far! I also really like the rover setup. If that channel on the x isn't being used have you considered adding in a 20x40...

I haven't opened the file yet. But looks good. Does the X axis have a 20x40 rail for a cable tray?

Ahh. I see it. Bad eye site. Looked like the pattern for for the c beam. But I agree with your choice on the X. Are you planning on fastening...
what rails are you planning on running for your X and y?
That's pretty nifty
Ahh ok. I wasn't sure if it was for a reason like less friction
what do you feel the benefits are between the v rail and v wheels vs using the wheels that run in the slot?
