Talk:Universal CNC Axis
From Open Source Ecology
Future Design Changes
- Frame Flanges
- Change frame flage bolts from phillips head to hex heads
- Frame bolts probably need washers
- Design currently has #8 size bolts, a little loose inside of the holes. 7/32? use metric?
- Frame Axis Mount
- Carriage and smooth Rods may bump into the frame's flange mounting bolts
- could mount motor and idler side flush to frame if carriage was slightly skinnier and no obstructions from the frame brackets
- mighht be able to reduce part count, could move nut and washer outside of frame to tighten motor and idler pieces
- Attaching Motor and Idler Side to Carriage of another axis
- Attaching Motor and Idler Side to Frame
- Have to use a washer and nut external to the Printed Piece
- Could replace hex head bolt with a Socket Head Bolt
- would be able to tighten with a nut on other side, then mount to frame wall with more nuts
- Problem: hard to find fully threaded bolts over 30mm in length
- first nut is within the first 18mm of the bolt
- If using a washer, make sure its OD is larger than standard size, will fall into hex hole
