As of 12/12/2018 ... <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< So I am just getting started into 3D and Lazer engraving ... But I know what I want but not to good on designing things ...YET Well I have been looking around for a MOTORISED Z axis Laser mount but one that runs on Casters and not on the Rods.. and must have Stepper mount ...could I find one..... NO So with the trial and error of Slic3R and Tinker-cad along with Cura and of course good ole Thing-Verse...I seen two good designs but need to incorporate Both to make this one so credit here goes to https://www.thingiverse.com/ZhilDV https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2703455 AND https://www.thingiverse.com/nagilum https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3123030 I used 4mm polished rod with Brass tube for bushing and M5 threaded rod B&Q..UK...Wickes or your local hardware store the Zmotor is found here ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stepper-Motor-Nema-11-Stepper-Motor-4-wires-28mm-0-8A-6-5Nm-10oz-in-Bipolar-CDD/323491923216?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I had to redesign the front and rear plate so as the holes for the castor wheels lined up ..that took another 4 nights LOL but I did enjoy tinkering around and getting better on design cut copy and paste LOL this is all done on my TRONXY X3A Yes still waiting for the Baby stepper motor to finish it off so will post finished article when it arrives and the L-Cheapo Laser Focus wheel https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3274915 Note also added a couple more BIGGER mount plate and a nema17 drag chain mount <<<<<
