hello
as i am still new to this ,
i gut 6 thk slides 20W (115cm long)
and 2 thk ballscrew for x and y (80cm long)
i also have 7cm x 7cm , 2mm thick steel square shaped sections
from where i live it is so hard to get any other materials. or cast aluminum and finish it with presion at all.
so i decided to build a simple machine from what i have and use it to build another better machines
i have a 200oz steppers for this one.
now i dont know where should i place my ballscrew and how can i make it move the x-axis ?
can i put it on one side or at the center is better ?
must it be at the center line of the thk slide ? or up/down a little bit will be ok ?
is it better to place the thk slide in the x-axis as it shows in the pic or i can put it on the sides and it will be fine as well?
i am open to any suggestion . please give me your advice before i start making big mistakes
thank you
