Hey! I think I (hopefully right person) shot you a FB message about this question, but could be wrong account was trying to find a way to ask this with a faster response time lol - But at... 1:01+ in your video you can see the Aluminum Spacers that reach out to the Lead-screw nut. (As I'm doing the exact same mod on my incoming Workbee) I really hoped to maybe know what the distance was from back of the Z axis plate to the leadscrew nut [ Aka: Length for those spacers] . Also do you notice any flex with them (was thinking the connection piece might need to be a beefier / rectangular aluminum piece but what you have done seems to give good results, so...) ??
@@850Fab Oh, ok, no problem, fully understandable. I have made z axis upgrade with hiwin linear rails, looking forward to do the same with x and Y axis, but in the future, quite expensive rails. Good luck with business idea, I think it will definitely be successful.
Hi Blake, Great video. It's nice seeing someone be able to get so much out of one of these small CNC machines. Especially the mild steel! I'm talking myself into getting a Queen Bee so it'll end up being very similar in setup to yours and I'm working out what the best milling bits would be to use with some gummier aluminum. Would you mind sharing what you are using for the cuts and chamfers here? Looking great, hoping to get similar results. Also, on a similar note. I'm intending to cut much longer on mine. How do you feel about heat buildup and coolant? Do you think it would be necessary if everything else is ideal and I take it easy on the feed and depth of cut?
Excellent job! In the test video dips that your new router plate for the z axis to attach to the new linear rails? If so, about how long did that take tp machine out?

Nice job. Have you by chance measured the spindle play before and after to see what kind of improvement you saw?

Is that just a hand router mounted to it ?
Epic job Blake... Always can be sure of your Facebook page showing cool stuff 😎😎
thanks!
Hey man what bit is that for the chamfering? Having issues finding one rated for metal cutting. Thanks!
HI, Nice upgrade. Is the upgarde kit sell still up to date? If not, could you please share Fusion files of the mod please?
Did you changed the stepper motors also?
That is an amazing job. Any chances you could share the fusion 360 file with us?
I have been considering building upgrade kits in the future so im not sure

Hello,
Do you plan to change the router for a spindle (1.5 or 2.2kw) with VFD?
Excellent job! In the test video dips that your new router plate for the z axis to attach to the new linear rails? If so, about how long did that take tp machine out?
Nice cuting depth
Thank you!
thanks for sharing. I hope to do the same to mine
Rob Conway thanks Rob.
well done! what's approx upgrade cost? thx
overall, I've got about $500 in upgrades including the TBD Z axis and LaidLaw spindle mount
Are you gonna share the z mount file?
I'm not sure. I had considered in the future designing upgrade kits
No worries, I've already designed my own and did my upgrade.
@@MrFreeway99 can you share the fusion files from your design? Mail@jelcke.nl
Hello, can you have dxf files alesandroo@wp.pl
Very cool. I'm doing a very similar build with linear rails, based on sphinx. Which controller did you go with?
