However in doing that it doesn't make it all that easy to make the mounts for the carriages adjustable and to get everything perfectly lined up.

what do people do to solve this as it seams most people use this configuration?Click image for larger version.

Hi Charlieuk,



I have the same thing to think about.

I think i am gonna use set screws in the stationary Z plate pointing at the side of the top and bottom carriages.

So i need a little extra room in the bolt holes in top and bottom mounting plates.

Setscrews will be removed after i am satisfied things are square and torqued down, before moving part of z axis is mounted.


Grtz Bert.
