3 axis stage

thingiverse

The 3-axis stage is designed for use in a Bath interferometer. This hardware consists of .25 inch stainless steel or drill rod rails, K&S 9/32 inch thin wall brass tube with a thickness of .014 inches, 8x32 threaded rods, and 6 x32 screws along with 8x32 hex nuts and locknuts. Originally constructed using PLA on a Rostock Max V2 3D printer, parts were printed at a 90-degree rotation from the original .stl file displayed. This means they are flat on the build plate with their large flat sides facing upwards. Firstly, attempt to create the XSlider new part, which features openings for both the .25 and 9/32 components. If these fit properly, you're ready to proceed. The .25 component should fit snugly, while the 9/32 component should clip into place without moving excessively but can be shifted with gentle force. On February 23rd, an updated ytable.stl file was released to provide a tighter connection.
