Description
I Developed an upgraded Z-Axis design for the Maslow CNC utilizing the stock sled with Ring Kit and Z-Axis Kit.My aim was to make my z axis cuts repeatable without breaking the bank.
I succeeded in getting rid of the need for bungie cords, and a fusible nut that pops out at inopportune times. So far it is at least as rigid if not more and the z height repeatability is spot on. Working on a vacuum skirt/shoe that doesn't interfere with the z axis travel.
