    Ball Screw Cover?

    I need a way to cover my ball screw to keep debris out. Any suggestions?

    Not sure why the picture comes out sideways, it doesn't on my desktop.

    If you go to Aliexpress and search for these terms:

    Concertina cnc bellows,
    Way cover bellows,
    Milling way cover,
    Accordian way cover.

    You'll get a few ideas and maybe even see exactly what you want. I found one suitable for my mills Y axis.

    On my mill Z, anything too thick would impede travel so I modified a car window roller blind using some 0.5mm nitrile sheet. Got the idea from a video of a G0704.
    Thickness not so much an issue with a router.
