Remix of TopsCNC Parts

thingiverse

When I came across the great looking CNC by Topsie I had to build it but I had already bought some parts for another project. I decided to remix a few parts to use the equipment I had. The z cart and top front z axis were remixed to use 12mm linear shaft and 4 LM12UU bearings. This increased the dimensions a bit so reduces the available travel by about 16mm in x and 10 mm in z. I remixed the router clamps for my Ridgid (AEG) laminate router. The router shaft is not a perfect cylinder so I changed the dimensions and added the required cutouts. The router also sat higher and did not allow for much z axis motion so I lowered the mounting plate and thickened it to clear the router protuberances. I wanted to change the orientation of the gantry and stepper motors so remixed the drag chain supports. The drag chains were also a little stiff on my 3d printer so I remixed them with a little more clearance. The drag chain did not fit on the support next to the yaxi stepper motor so I elongated a chain link for a better fit.
