X-Y controll

thingiverse

This is a versatile XY table that can be used as both a plotter and laser engraver. The four corner pieces are identical, making it easy to add stepper motors or bearings. Specialized cover plates keep the bearings securely in place. The left and right slider components are also identical, each featuring one linear bearing for smooth movement. The length of the 6mm shafts can be customized to fit specific needs. Three timing belt pulleys are identical, allowing for easy setup and alignment. One side of the pulley attached to the stepper motor fits snugly onto a 6mm shaft, while the other side securely attaches to the 5mm stepper motor itself. The system is designed for optimal performance with two main modes: X plus Y operation. This allows users to work with precision and accuracy in both dimensions.
