Aster-X 3D printed full screw CNC machine

thingiverse

Aster-X is a remix of the "Asterion easy and cheap 3D printed CNC machine". https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2306781 Some parts were modified by me or completely redesigned. The original parts can be found at the link above. Printed Parts: X axis --------- 2x LinearGuide (Original part "Asterion") 2x M8NutXYPart1 (Original part "Asterion") 1x M8NutXYPart2 (Original part "Asterion") 1x Nema17XHolder_mod (Redesign by me) 2x SidePanelMount (Original part "Asterion") Y axis -------- 4x LinearGuide (Original part "Asterion") 2x M8NutXYPart1 (Original part "Asterion") 2x M8NutXYPart2 (Original part "Asterion") 2x NEMA1723YZ_mod (Redesign by me) 4x SurfaceMount (Original part "Asterion") Z axis -------- 2x BearingMount (Original part "Asterion") 2x Linear_Bearing_Slide_mod (Redesign by me) 2x LinearguideMount_mod (Redesign by me) 1x M8NutHolderZ_mod (Redesign by me) 1x NEMA17ZMotorMount_mod (Redesign by me) 1x Pulley_32T_5mm_mod (Redesign by me) 1x Pulley_32T_8mm_mod (Redesign by me) Spindle Mountings for "PROXXON Micromot 50 / E" ----------------------------------------------------------- 1x DrillMount20mmBottom_mod (Redesign by me) 1x DrillMount20mmTop-mod (Redesign by me) 1x DrillMount34mmBottom_mod (Redesign by me) 1x DrillMount34mmTop_mod (Redesign by me) Parts Needed for Mounting the 10x 20 mm Energy Chain -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1x chain_holder_left_mod (Redesign by me) 1x chain_holder_right_mod (Redesign by me) 1x x_chain_holder_mod (Redesign by me) 1x z_chain_holder_mod (Redesign by me) For the Mounting Plate of the Electronics Required Side Panels ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1x electric_plate_holder_left (Redesign by me) 1x electric_plate_holder_right (Redesign by me) A toothed belt HTD - 339 - 3M - 6 is used. The two 8mm linear shafts have a length of 200mm. I use the lid of a 15x30 electric installation duct as an additional guide to the energy chain of the Y axis. The required parts for the limit switch mounting the Z axis are still in the works and will be added later. Pictures and printed parts for the housing electronics will also follow. About further suggestions, suggestions for improvement, criticisms, and so on, I would be very happy. Update: End-stop switches Z-axis ------------------------------------------- Finally, it is done. The project is coming to an end. Now my solution for mounting the Z-axis limit switches has been implemented. Threaded rods in M6 were used. The housing for individual electronic components will decide. Therefore, I will probably not publish any of it in the future. Parts Needed for Mounting Z-axis Endstop Switches ------------------ 1x z_endstop_holder_bottom_mod (Redesign by me) 1x z_endstop_holder_top_mod (Redesign by me) 2x z_endstop_switch_mount_mod (Redesign by me) 2x knob_M6 (designer unknown) Have fun building. I would be glad about a feedback.
