    Default Need advice on my 24" Y axis build

    Greetings!

    Everyone has always been very helpful here.

    Its been awhile. I need to build this 24x24" y axis. Think large size 3D printer for printing clay. See photo. My base is 3/4" Melamine, I have 2 20mm linear slides with 4 Bearing blocks, I will run a Small Nema 23 with 22 tooth Pulleys. I have on order HTD3M 15mm wide belt.

    My rails don't have mounting holes.

    The Bearing slides have 4 6mm mounting holes. I need to have springs, so I can Tram the bed.

    So, I was going to run a homemade bearing idler on one side and the Nema 23 with 22 tooth pulley on the other.

    I would appreciate any thought?

    I have some separate parts I'm working on I will discuss in other posts.

    Thanks!!!

    [You're just building the Y axis? What about X and Z? Is your plan to avoid using screws or R&P by using long belts to move the stage? ]

    My rails don't have mounting holes.

    [How are you planning to fasten them down?]

    The Bearing slides have 4 6mm mounting holes. I need to have springs, so I can Tram the bed.

    [Where would the springs go, and how would they help with tramming?]

    So, I was going to run a homemade bearing idler on one side and the Nema 23 with 22 tooth pulley on the other.

    [That's for tensioning the belt? Have you figured out a mechanism to move it back and forth?]

    I would appreciate any thought?

    I have some separate parts I'm working on I will discuss in other posts.

    Thanks!!!

    [It would be easier to help with this if everything was in the same thread. Are you building your own clay extruder, or buying one prefabricated?]

    This is an ongoing project. There are several old threads on my build. This is Custom. the other parts are 2-meter Z and X axis. This is an add on to make it Cartesian for testing.

    Just wanted some thoughts on a Y axis approach. I have a couple days until my belt is in, so I'm trying to tie everything together.

    The actual clay extruder is already built Nema 23 with a 20:1 Worm reducer.


    Thanks
