I am looking for low-cost Z axis options.
My own printer is a top-down model, so I beleieve I have less worry about vats and resin weight/deforming etc...
I'm looking for the best/cheap Z Axis option and hope that some of you out they have advice about your own trials and tribulations I can learn from.
I'm wondering if I could just build my own Z Axis out of plastic and mimic some of the matel slides I see out there.
I've also been consdiering a plastic Rack and Pinion concept. While prototypes could be printed up I think something stronger, like injection moulded plastics might be good for solid long term use.
I've also been contemplating adding a salt-water solution to my bath and perhaps a drip system of sorts but so far I've yet to find a cheap way to measure water/resin height at a sub 1mm scale.
Any thoughts for me??
Thanks.
Cheap/functional Z Axis options??
