Description

Summary

I wanted a rigid motorized bed for my laser so after looking at options i decided to make my own.

inspired by:

the corners are on their 5th revision and while things might change this is about as good as i can get.

the idea is there is 2 bearings and a collar in each corner designed to preload the bearing and reduce the wobble.To this end push the bearing in so that it sticks out a hair on the top cap. you can use a bigger stepper but there isn't much height in the laser.

i designed this to have very tight fitting bearings so i used a G clamp to insert the bearings.

Sizes below were for my machine, please verify yours before cutting.

alu tubing lengths 2x 200mm and 2x 300mm for the sides

12ga steel sheet cut to 350mm x 250mm
