Z-Axis Upgrade For My Sphinx
Z Axis for ACRO
![](https://openbuilds.com/data/article_cat_images/s/0/303.jpg?t=0)
Created a small Z axis for the ACRO motion system. I wanted to more easily adjust the height of the laser to accommodate various thicknesses of material, without having to manually loosen screws to adjust. Also wanted to be able to vary the height for multiple cutting passes on some materials. Try to stick to a similar aesthetic as the original ACRO system and plates.
