Basic design with 40x120mm extrusion for the main axes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Changed to Unistrut for the Y axis and added some basic slides and a gearbox of sorts, I am not entirely convinced that this would have been vey stable.<\/div>\n

Some better slides, based on the ones from\u00a0CNC Router Parts<\/a>\u00a0and a first attempt at a Z axis.<\/div>\n

The Z axis progresses a bit further.<\/div>\n

A change to profile sides, a better gearbox design and profile extrusion for the Z axis<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Closeup of the gearbox design<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Slightly more compact Z axis<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A second idea for the Z axis<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Doubling up on the X axis for additional strength and added a B axis.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Closeup of Z and B<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Whilst a nice idea, and one that I may make use of again in the future, the levels of flex with attempting to have a 5 or even 6 axis unit (trunion or lathe on the bed) are just way too much for a Z axis extended this far and this thin.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
