Today, in part 4 of my $50 cheapo DIY 3D printer build series we're mounting the X-axis... Or the Z-carriage... No, both actually, since the X-axis is part of the Z-carriage! I explain the reasoning behind springloading my V-groove rollers, a system I named "Chronic CarriageSpring" which allows the linear rails of the machine to be made of less dimensionally consistent materials like plywood without binding or introducing backlash due to changes in ambient humidity. We also take a look at how I made the tiny washers I've been using as spacers between the bearings and the wood since the last episode.
Here's some affiliate links to the parts I got for this printer:
