Guys,
I have a mockup of a CNC router I am thinking about. I wanted to tuck the gantry motor behind the gantry, and run a belt between the motor and the ballscrew (1605). Take a look at the pics. The ballscrew is fixed to the gantry with a pretty common WB1K12 bearing block. You can see the gross difference in height between the motor shaft and the ballscrew.
What sort of design tricks to you do to get the shafts closer in height? Thanks!
