CNC 3018 Pro Upgrades

CNC 3018 Pro Upgrades A few upgrades allowed my CNC 3018 Pro to become significantly more rigid. It can now process aluminum, albeit only small parts. The design is far from perfect and I have several ideas for improvement. In the next version, I plan to make several key changes. 1. Round shaft made from standard iron pipe with an outer diameter of 22-32mm. Currently, it's a makeshift clothes rack divider, but I think it has potential as a reliable component. 2. Reinforce lateral holders to reduce movement and prevent deviation when the tool moves along the X axis. A possible solution is adding an iron corner for added support. 3. Adding "bushings" to the shaft will eliminate micro jamming and prevent the machine from braking when moving along the X axis. I've already created a crossbeam and secured it with screws.
