Good morning all
I spent quite a bit of time designing and building the upgraded Z axis, but feel it’s such an improvement I’d like others in the community to benefit. Following on from my designs I’m now comfortable with the idea of doing some small production runs and wanted to see if people would actually want them?
Personally I’d like to keep them as affordable as possible so would sway towards the original design (the component cost of the 2nd variation was significantly more) but people need a choice.
I’d look to incorporate the easy tram mechanism into either design. At this stage I’m just trying to gauge interest so would appreciate any feedback.
In my head these are the possible options.
- Option 1 - the original upgraded Z - around $300 shipped to the US
- Option 2 - the linear slider Z - around $450 shipped to the US

So why would you buy one of these from me over cnc newbie?
- Direct fit - removing your original X carriage plate with minimal hardware swap over (just v wheels, spindle mount, motors and X motor stays.
- Includes easy tram guide
- Beefier than the cnc newbie version
- Larger ball screw
With these you will get increased travel, less chatter and be able to use larger routers.
Keen to get some your thoughts and feedback. Regardless the plans will remain free for anyone who wants them.
