Ever wondered why you couldn't just use cheap threaded rod as lead screws in your #diy #cnc build instead of the much more expensive ACME thread or ball screws? Well, you can! But only successfully, so under certain, umm, circumstances... In this second part of my DIY budget diode laser cutter project, we're installing stainless steel all thread as lead screws on the X and Y axis, and it's safe to say, things didn't go as planned!
If you decide to build something similar, please consider supporting my work by purchasing components through affiliate links, this way I may receive a small commission without any additional cost to you:
Power supply (I got the 12v 8A version): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBUCL9V
POM V-groove wheels ( V-groove version): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFrwl47
GT2 idler pulleys: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCCQQij
GT2 pulleys (non-standard ID): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DeOkFOB
In any case, though, I recommend getting stuff during one of AliExpress's many sales, as it's a bit cheaper then. The power supply, for instance, I got for under $7 - the 5A version would've been sufficient, but I picked the bigger one because I could.
