Hi there, did you manage to source some new screws for your 260 or did make do with the old, i only ask as my Z spat its balls out and im using a old lead screw as a temporary measure, but will replace all with new machined screws if i can find a reasonable priced source...

Hi Ricardoco,
I found a company that makes 14mm ballscrew with a threaded nut but these were only rolled ballscrews not ground. But the original ballscrews on the VMC260 are rolled, so....

I keep my existing ballscrew for now, I can not detect much backlash so far, so should be OK untill I get enough money aaside to get some new ones...
An other option I found is a guy specialised in fixing damaged ballscrew. May worth a try?

Here is the electronic...
Old stuff first:
Then the new stuff... I wanted to use rack mount 19" enclosure so it can be bolted underneath my bench, but could not find one big enough, so had to split spindle electronic in one box and steppers electronic in an other.
Got these nice rack mount enclosures from work. They've got extra holes on the front panel... I guess I will have to patch these at some point.
