Ez-Swap Carriage for 3018 CNC

thingiverse

Ez-Swap Mount reached its final stages in CAD The goal of this project was: 1. Make a rigid platform for higher power spindles to cut more harder materials. 2. Make it easier to swap out spindles/laser modules. 3. Make it easier to disassemble the whole thing for cleaning or replacement. Hardware Needed: 1x 150mm lead screw https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R1H3WSB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2x 130mm linear rods https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W5K3JQF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 OR https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085NVH757/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2x 55mm linear bearings https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H965BW7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2x 24mm linear bearings https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087WPGQ8T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 OR https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPRCMJS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2x lead screw nut assemblies (reuse original ones) 1x lead screw capture bearing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N9KJPPK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 M3 grub screws https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AXVSHVY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 6x-8x Varies length M5 button head screws. **Software Note: With a heavy spindle, be sure to enter $1=255 into the command line to keep the stepper motors powered to avoid slippage of the Z-axis lead screw during operation. You only need to do this once for it to be saved in candle.
