Hi
I'm considering a CBeam CNC similar to CBeam Platemaker, but slightly more XYZ dimensions. The main difference is that I want to use ball-screws and not Acme.
I looked at 8mm, but too light duty, then 12mm, but ball-screw nuts to big to fit underneath build plate inside the c channel.
@10mm, I had to consider the nuts. I wanted to go 1005, but the nuts available out there is too big. Eventually with a 1003 (10mm with 3mm pitch) I could fit the ball-screw nut underneath the build plate....
