Components:
Aluminium profile T-Slot 30cm
Aluminium profile T-Slot 5cm
Linear guide rail MGN12H 30cm
T8 2mm pitch lead screw 30cm & anti backlash nut
NEMA 17HS8401 stepper motor
NEMA 17 fixed mount bracket
5-8mm flexible coupler
M3 Female2male brass screw thread PCB stand
M5 hex screw + nut + flat washer
M3 hex screw + nut
Zip ties
Enjoy my video!😁
Amazing job!, i agree with other users that there could be play in the block if you dont prevent the lead screw from moving axially. If you buy the standard pillow bearings they come with tiny setscrews and they allow you to fix in place your screw. The alignment will be a bit more challenging but it will make it a solid, flawless design.
it would be really helpful if you mention the link for purchasing the above used components
Ah yes 6 times 3 equal 18.Thanks so much that table really help
HAHAHAHAHAH😂😂 Sama2😁
Motor's typically have significant end-play, a mm or two, so without a thrust-bearing that will limit the accuracy/repeatability significantly... For instance there's no need for an anti-backlash nut on the leadscrew if the motor shaft has 1mm endplay (and that coupling can stretch/compress by a similar amount too. If you look at the standard ballscrew kits they come with a preloaded thrust bearing block to define the axial position to tight tolerances.
Oh, I'll look into it. Thank you!
if that were true, then every 3D printer with a screwed z axis would have that problem which they dont, and those use extreamly cheap steppers.
@@guillermomarturetfendt9037 Z-axis has gravity to prevent backlash.
What is the accuracy? can we get target 0.02 to 0.05 mm accuracy?
Thanks! But why on earth would you wear gloves to to all these fiddly things!??
thanks
How to choose our motor
Good work
Thank you😁
how to buy parts for this project?
Please provide link to purchase all the components

The holes that you are drilling at 0:28, are these tap holes strong enough to hold the track? I think the thickness of the extrusion material is only 1.5-2 mm, you need at least 3-4 mm for strength
Sorry for late reply😅 and thank you for advice, Yes, it doesn't strong enough to hold the track.😁I noticed there's tiny play when I try to wiggle it.
@@ikmalxhakim4419 I thought of using 20x40 extrusion, but since your speaking, it requires 3 to 4 mm thickness for having a good strength(for the bolt)... I'm at little bit confused to wheather use that or not for my project....Any help?
@@sharanamuram2290 what I can recommend is to use T slot nuts instead of tapping the hole. This surely holds the rail enough and more reliable.😁I made a V2 linear actuator (I posted on my insta) in which stepper mount is 3d printed parts and one single 2020 aluminium extrusion. Since I use MGN12 linear rail, I still can use 5cm length 2040 profile for the block carriage. (NOTE: my design here is only applicable to MGN12 rail (block) due to the hole size & spacing )
@@sharanamuram2290 or use T-nuts as it's what extrusion are for. Here the wrong extrusion profile was used.
Music is ultra annoying!
Hi how to install that
🇰🇷 응원합니다 🇰🇷
Hiii, can you how us the wiring and conections of the actuator?
I used this actuator for my 3D printer. I wired it up to the Arduino Mega and RAMPS 1.4. This video might help with connecting the stepper motor to the RAMPS:😁

If you're interested, I also built a linear actuator V2 with 3D printed parts, which is more reliable. I just don't post it on UA-cam.😁🙂

1:33 The slotted holes look like they were made by chewing.
Did u use 20x40 aluminium extrusion for both base and block??
Yes😁
@@ikmalxhakim4419 sir can i have a link for purchasing t slot
Saying "How I Made My DIY Linear Actuator" is like saying "How I made my DIY car from lagos" or " How I made my DIY Ikea furniture"

Do you have a parts list where can I get these parts?

Is there a way to have these in 3 or 4 meter long config?
Hi, my design here is only works for MGN12H series linear rail. So, its not possible for such a long rail😮
@@ikmalxhakim4419 awwwwwwwwww
What is the name of the golden nuts?
deez nuts
The brass nuts on the rod are anti-backlash nuts
bang kunci L hexagonalnya ukuran berapa?
Its for M3 hex nut, so might be 2.5mm
Load capacity
Bisa order?
Sorry, not for sale😅🙂
Can you sale this mechanism
Sorry, not for sale🙏
@@ikmalxhakim4419 can you fabricate another actuator for me i want to buy this actuator
