Direct drive Z-axis and Reinforced spindle holder assembly 🇫🇷
You can find the STLs here:
This assembly is meant to do three things:
- Reinforce the spindle/router holder against oscillation and vibration by making the holder assembly taller (+30mm). Be aware that this removes 30mm from he the z-Axis' range of motion.
- Allowing the z-axis motion to be directly driven by the Nema 17 motor, as opposed to the offset motor driving it with a GT2 belt and an additional GT2 pulley.
- Making the z-axis cart (elevator) 4mm thicker in order for the installed router to clear the Nema17 motor at the topmost Z-position.
These parts are meant to be used together and the original spindle/router holder assembly will not clear the Nema motor! I've added a thicker version of the original Z-axis cart to clear the Motor mount with the original holder as well.
Cheers!

thank you ! Nice modification :)
@Topsie My pleasure! Thanks for everything you're doing! BTW, I posted my build in the DYI CNC with more details if you haven't seen it. You have one more happy adopter of your design. :)
I will check it for sure !
Hey all,
Updated Thingiverse link with Z-cart with original 50mm height, but still thicker to clear direct drive motor.
Cheers,
JR
