I
have put the X
Y and Z axis on the table they slide ok I still need the
trapezoidal screw to
be milled down at the ends to take some bearings for the Z axis this
I can not do my self i don't have the tools and it need to be
right
this
is the round rails it is not bent it just looks like that in the photo
I had a problem I could not drill the rod it was to
hard. to get someone to drill and tap the rails
they would have cost £60 each
so I welded some tabs to the rails
you
can see in the photo how the rails should work I hope they will
take the wait of the Z axis.
the rail is on 20mm by 20mm box steel I will have to see how this
works I think the ply bed might bend in the middle
to with all this wait
for
some reason i did not take any photos off the parts for the
sides of the gantry I made for the Z axis I think
is was because they are just some bits of metal cut out of a 5mm
sheet of steel and welded they did not look all that existing so I did
not take any photos. they did take a long time to cut out
with a jigsaw.
it seems to work well I cut a hole in the side to keep the wait
down
