gantry weight

[Boyan Silyavski]

What you say is my dream gantry come true , people should take a note here. That's the perfect beam for simple gantry . Some good 2 x 400w 220Vac servo motors should move it flawlessly / rotating ball nuts both sides/ . Mine weighs exactly the same and motors are geared 1:1.5 / 20t:30t pulleys/ and it flies around at 20000 mm per min with 3000s2 acceleration , which is hell of a scary thing, so i have limited it now to 10000mm/min which is also quite scary until you accustom to it.


You could read also my 2nd build log #32 and next ones where people explained to me what snappy is, cause at the time i was just imagining and not very sure what exactly i need


here is when i was testing it at 10000 mm/min and 3000 acceleration so you get a better idea what we are talking about. It could move as double as faster, though at the moment i see no point :
