Harty,
That's a pretty nice looking ball screw conversion. I still haven't done my conversion yet because I just moved and am still getting settled. It sounds like my steppers will work, but I have a few other questions.
Here are the ballscrew questions
1. What size ballscrew are you using?
2. Are you using just the stock bearings for the leadscrews, or did you add anything (ie: needle, thrust, etc..)?
3. Are both ballnuts threaded into the aluminum blocks, or is one threaded and the other spring loaded to take backlash?
4. I see in one picture, the ballscrew comes through the belt sprocket, but others look like you are using an adapter with set-screws. Can you elaborate on how you are taking care of thrust and power transmission?
Other Questions
1. What stepper controller are you using?
Thanks
John B.
