Hey Joe,
Sorry for hijacking this thread, but how do you print your schematics that you use to centerpunch your drill holes (your youtube video of Z axis plate for example)
When I try it comes out the wrong size. Tried printing from solid works, exporting to pdf then print and exporting to dxf then print.. nothing seems to work perfect :)
Ah, guess it depends on your printer? I use the big HP plotter at work which is accurate to a fraction of a mm...
I found the laser printer to be pretty inaccurate maybe because of the heat? What are you printing with?
I have only tried the laserprinter at work.. might be the problem :) will try a printshop maybe! Thanks!
I take it you are printing the scale as 1:1 and not fit to page!!Quote:

Now I get something like 16.8 :(
Well there is something wrong as even with a bad printer it should only be about .5mm out.Quote:

can you post the dxf up here and I will try and print it for you or adjust it in Acad
Ok edit: I have printed out in SW direct from the part on screen but you have to go into "file/print" and then page setup my printer shows "scale to fit" and "scale "100%" choose 100% It works for me.
Will try with new settings, maybe I have a scale error in the printer setup! If I can't get it to work I will pm you with the dxf Clive :)Quote:

Hello everyone - bit of progress on the z axis... need to revisit the circuit diagram, the mechanical stuff is getting close now [emoji846]

Following on from the pictures in the previous post above, another short video of the dry run assembly of the z axis below: https://youtu.be/_0nJBaUaBBA
I still need to make the bracket which fits between the top bearing mount and the z motor mount, the bottom bearing plate and the front z axis plate where the spindle will be mounted.
I'm going to open up the holes on the plates which pull the z bearings forward to allow better alignment. Align them with one another using the dial indicator... the problem is then I cannot get to the bolts which fix the vertical plate to the bearing plate to get that adjusted - wish I had foreseen these problems when designing the thing! Nothing some shims can't fix?!
