I decided to make the handles for the motors yesterday/today. These will allow me to turn the leadscrews by hand for set-up purposes or to back off the axis from a limit switch.
The grey parts are PVC and the black parts are polyethylene (material I happened to have available). The shoulder bolts allow the 'knobs' to spin freely while still being held securely. I also had to make two more taps (10-24 and 10-32) out of machine screws. Gotta love home made taps in plastic
.
I have also cut the aluminum linear bearing carriers to length so this evening may be spent drilling holes for the mounting bolts. I am just hoping my tiny Unimat is up to the task....lol.
