Y-Axis motor mount end plate prototypes
So after the planning work it was time to route the prototype mount plates on 12mm thick birch plywood.
Before removing tabs of the routing separated pieces front motor mount plate back side bk12 support plate
I sanded them and screwed them onto the RatRig 40160 profile using M8 t-slot nuts and hex bolt of 20mm long.
Adding t-slot nuts and bolts Tightening the bolts to the nuts through the mount plate
They seemed to work well but the holes for the BK12 and motor mount was a little to wide as 6mm… They should be 5.5mm to be able to thread them as M6 size. Also The holes for BK12 and motor mount was off by ~5mm so they need to be designed properly -> so a new front mount plate needs to be done. Also The M6 bolts were a little too long. 40mm bolts is enough.
All in all, the whole ball screw mechanism could be installed and assembled and a motor could be hooked up to the ball screw nicely but i need to wait for the closed loop ihss57-36-20 stepper motors to arrive so that i can properly check how the plastic mount holds.
So next up is to make the other Y axis mount plates.
Mount plates assembled and slightly tightened parts assemble without motor mount back side of the ball screw + bk12 bearing whole thing assembled Front side with nema23 motor mount Ballscrew + nema23 Ballscrew + nema23
