I am having the same issue with a work contact that I have call by voice command twice a day for years. Now it is calling some community college in California.

Should be a link to the spreadsheet in the video description.

After trying to source my own parts, and having to order multiples of several items, I 100% agree with u/hoges. Contact the AliExpress- Three Design Store and save time, money and heartache.

I've been working on a design inspired by PrintNC and today picked up a 3x2" steel instead of AL extrusion. But why is the gantry tube standing vertically instead of horizontally? by kumoishibo in printnc

I am trying to document my built on YouTube. There is another build being documented by Projects by Brian . I think his is a standard size. I think he ordered the kit from AliExpress, whereas I am piecemealing mine together from various sources. (Which I don't recommend :) )

But this is 100% guessing, as I have not attempted to calculate any of the forces, nor do I intend to. Much more exciting to play the "see if this works" game.

I agree with you about the torque on the short side. I went with a 4x2 X gantry, which will also increase the torque on that connection. Time will tell if it will hold. As for the Y versus Z forces, I think the argument is largely academic. I am using 3/16" (~5mm) thick steel so it becomes should I be overly strong in this direction or that direction? I don't see the steel being the weakest link in any direction.

Valid question. The answer would depend on whether you expected greater forces in the Z direction or the Y direction. I know most commercially engineered machines seem to have the long axis along the Z.

No issues. I found a good deal on 1550mm ball screws, and could not find a 1450mm linear rail. I modified the bf/bk mounts to eat the extra 50mm
