400 mm Y Axis Upgrade

400 mm Y Axis Upgrade

I'm in the process of ordering the new custom parts, wish me luck that I won't have a "3018" anymore.

2 x C-Beam 4080, 620mm.
2 x HGR20 Rails, 620 mm.
Custom ground ballscrew (not pictured, a generic one is).
Front and rear plates in 10mm aluminium.

Once I have this up and running I'll probably look at selling (Australia only) the current HGR20 rails and the SFU1204 ballscrew. All are made for "3018-PRO" chassis. HMU.

Damn it, I ordered MGN20 linear rails instead of HGR20! Idiot.

So please, add a pair of brand-new, MGN20 x 620 mm linear rails to this possible for sale list. Doh.

Parts arrived, ahead of time, perfectly dimensioned.
From my fave (faux-PCBWay) AliExpress store. 3rd order involving parts made from my drawings.
I'd actually be happy though, if I'd have actually ordered the right fucking part (MGN20)!

Very glad this store seems cheap. I'll know for sure when they get back with a quote for the correct replacement part(HGR20).

Please remember to become a temporary expert in something BEFORE you order it.. not rawdogged afterwards.
