prusaprinters

<p>This is a Test for a 3D Printed Leadscrew<br/> This is a square thread.<br/> It is a flat screw you have to print it flat and diagonal on the surface<br/> you need <a href="http://dkprojects.net/openscad-threads/">http://dkprojects.net/openscad-threads/</a> to compile the scad files</p> <p>i used candle wax for better gliding</p> <p>the setting is 800 steps per mm</p> <p>I used this screw till christmas 2018.</p> <p>As i started to experiment with 0.1 Nozzle size, i thought i need more resolution on the z axis. So i tried to make a new screw with 2mm/rev.</p> <p>But the difference is from 0.02 per full step to 0.01 per full step. So i dont think its necessary.</p> <p>Anyway i made the new screw with a zero backlash nut.</p> <p>this screw has 1600 steps per mm</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> Anet A8</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> Doesn't Matter</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> Doesn't Matter</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.1</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>coupler 0.2</p>
