Hi guys,
I'm making some design decisions about how my Z axis is machanised.
At the moment, I have the below design, but I'm a little confused about what parts to put on what bit.
Is it better to have the Z rails attached to the X carriage, or the Z Blocks, with the rails on the back of the spindle block?
Same question about the motor? fixed ontop of the X axis plate, or moving up and down with the Z axis?
I was figuring, whatever side I put the linear rails on, it probably makes sense to put the motor mounts on that piece also, as it has to be the longest piece?
Any feedback welcome
