Aluminium profile CNC

Hi,

Some update of the design. I've lower the extrusion side, add an extrusion on the bottom of the x axis, moto mount and the side plates.
As usual if anything seems to be wrong don't hesitate to comment :)

The ballscrew of the X axis is now higher to screw it directyl to the bearing plate. Thanks Jazz!
I don't add it but the cable chain will be on top of the 120X40 extrusion.


The Y axis motor mount plate:

To mount the ballscrew, I will use a separate plate. I think it will be easier to adjust if necessary.





If you see anything, please let me know :) Thanks

Is there a standard way to fix two pieces of extrusion?

I search on the forum and found this:

maybe another idea?

Hi BriceO

Did you ever solve your problem? In this link this is how I solved the problem by drilling a hole through the extrusion so that I could tighten the bolts in the clips. It is very solid and has not moved in 2 years!

Hi Mikey,

Yes thanks. I did something very similar. I'll post updates as soon as I find time to finish it.
