Dumpster Nuts on KRMx01
I received this question a while back and thought I would post my answer.
"Any way to add CNCRotuerParts Dumpster ACME lead nut to KRMx01 CNC?"
My Answer:
Yes. I have figured out an easy way to add the nuts to the Y carriages. It's a simple matter of adding two pieces of 1" x 2" x 1/16" aluminum between the carriage supports and the main carriage components.
This gives the new nuts enough clearance so that they wont hit the Y-beam. There should be enough play in the motor mounts to account for this 1/16" shift.
On the X axis you will need to place 1/16" spacers between the carriage and the Z beam.
