Assembling the Z-Axis Gantry Plate prototype
The gantry plate for the Z-axis worked out well. One problem that was encountered was that one of the HGR15 block threads was miss placed on the factory and was […]
Making of the X-axis gantry plate prototype.
Not much to say here more than -> check the video below Feedrate 600mm/min and plunge rate for rail holes was 50mm/min since there was an error in the gcode…A […]
Vertically Adjustable 1605 Nut hosing screw holes
There was a problem with the nut hosing alignment vertically with fixed screw holes so some vertically adjustable screw holes had to be routed on the existing Y gantry plates. […]
Assembling the CNC Machine using Prototype gantry plates.
Since the steel T-nuts from China is on their excursion trip somewhere who knows where, i printed t-nuts with my 3d printed. The idea is to use the openbuilds tee-nuts […]
Cleaning of HGH15 and HGH20 blocks using IsoPropanol
While the T-nuts are on the journey from China to Finland (well they turned back to China but hope they will resend them soon…) I decided to clean the HGH […]
Y-Axis Gantry Plate Prototypes
The Y-Axis gantry plate was machined with my old smaller 300x400mm work area CNC. The holes for M5 bolts are 50mm wide and has sink holes for the hats of […]
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. I sanded them and screwed them onto the RatRig 40160 profile […]
Designing the Y-Axis ballscrew bracket mount plates
A slight re-design is needed from the y-axis endplates. The end plates are to be replaced with mount plates for the BK12 brackets that are on top of the RatRig […]
3D Printed Nema23 Mount for BK12 Bracket.
What is this ?Its a mount for the stepper motors that should be possible to be mounted on the BK12 bearing bracket where the 1605 size ball screw is attached […]
