For the past few weeks i've been toying with ideas and trying something out. Today, i finally got Moshamill v1 "running"!!!! Very excited. Up until i hooked the drill on to the acme screw, i didn't actually know if it was going to work, but alas, it did! Here are some pics and a few short videos.
Total cost so far:
20ft TGP 3/4 round = $30
Brash Bushings x 8 = $12
4x4x3/4 Oak Vaneer MDF = $16
1/4" ID bearings x 4 = 12
Acme Screws = $30
Random UHMW = $0 (scrap)
Fully Assembled Z Axis = $40
I Still have to buy the Motors, encoders, and power supply. But I'm really hoping to have this running by the end of the month! |
