Re: ELS 1mm thread, should I use capture nuts both sides of the XY/XZ assembly


 

It¡¯s best to capture the leadscrew to keep it stabilized.? Some folks don¡¯t capture the lead screw and wonder why circles aren¡¯t round.

Have A Great Day??

Hi all,
?
First post... and I ask a question...
?
ELS T8-1mm thread on the homemade CNC, should I use capture nuts both sides of the XY/XZ? assembly?
?
They say photo worth a 1,000 words so see attached. Should I use one side only or both? Obviously will be secured so the rotation os the stepper leads to linear motion.

Intention is mill, wood and plastic not metal to this is strong enough.
