Assuming that the base is basically OK.... will update drawings in final draft for asymmetric layout
What is a reasonable weight for a gantry given the OP? planning on steppers for drive, I guess 2 rather than 1 and belts.
ballscrews or rack for Z.... or does it make little difference at this size
been playing in steel, bolted/glued rather than welded as I don't want to have to take it to be machined & weight seems very excessive...
I am Aiming for about 240mm spacing on y rails and at least 150-200mm on z, does this seem about right?Last edited by mike os; 17-12-2014 at 05:56 PM.
