K8200 Z Axis upgrade

thingiverse

I got rid of the stock screw for the Z axis, and hung my Z motor from the top when I got myself a leadscrew. I also replaced the bearings for the Z axis with longer ones to add to the stability. In the process I made some bigger holders for these bearings. Use as You please, maybe some holes need sanding, and drilling, but this kit fit perfect om my machine. You can choose to leave the long bearing holders AS IS or cut away the weak parts in the middle to expose the centre. Do as You please... I used a bearing in the bottom of the rod to take of the weight from the whole rig from the motor bearings. The Bottom part also features a holder for a bearing if your lead screw is longer than mine...
