Just trying to make a Z axis its not a easy job especially when you are too cheap to buy the proper components :doh:
Are there any easy Z axis's out there that use the skate bearings and dont require 100% precision? design made out of steel if possible :)
Just finally getting my machine done and having problems with what to do with the Z Axis.
Or does someone happen to have a Z axis lying around I can buy/have till I get mine up and running and then I can make my own.
PS: Finally saw my machine moving on the weekend :U (only X but Y will be moving by this weekend)
Also one more thing I wanted to ask, whats the best way to clamp open timing belts?
