I'm interested in how this turns out, and how you install them, try to remember to take lots of pics because if this turns out well there will probably be several who do this :-)
im considering switching over to a Nema 17 Geared stepper to give it more resolution. but im confused about what voltage range and amperage i can run on a rambo
I am going to need to add a 2nd backup Z endstop incase it decides to forget the drop the ABL probe and since the Lead screw block is solid.. unlike the Nut trap used with the stock config.. I iwll need to readd my bed springs for safety so if it doesnt dive down.. it wont crack the glass or something else
What about attaching it to the x carraige? How are you planning to handle that?
Anyone seen this. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:687929/#files . Looks like it would be a good upgrade to the wood frame. Video http://youtu.be/6SyZbSSrLB8
I finally received the lead screw order.. Looks really good.. I will try and get it setup and running this weekend. stay tuned for Work in progress photos.
Spent half the day making the necessary parts..
Longer mount for Z motors, Plate to attach to X and topper bearing plate
had to make a few small corrections.. and drill out a hole or two i forgot
make s shim and its looking and working really well so far
Havent adjust the Steps yet.. thats next
the quality of the leadscrew is excellent.. very impressed considering the cost
I still need to put back the springs onto my headed bed.. as a safety as with this setup there is no nut trap that would pop out
and im going to add a second Z endstop so it triggers before the spring bottoms out. last thing i want is if the Z goes crazy for it to crank down and crack my glass or worse.
