Adding Openrail Z axis to a Lulzbot Taz 4/5

[piercet]

@Kittera

I see some steel shafts specified in the parts list on page 4 of the posts here but I can’t seem to locate them in your photos… have you had enough time, piercet, to make a writeup of this Z axis retrofit as you have for the X and Y axis retrofits? Also exploded diagrams?

I’m wanting to emply all three of your axis mods on my club’s Taz 5 in the school maker space cause it’s all kinds of layer wobble issues right now, alongside line pairing/oblong circles(first the X axis, because the carriage was rotating, now the Y axis, for I wdon’t know why!).

The steel shafts used in the Z axis are in the anti wobble mounts. They are what the bearings for the x axis wobble eliminator ride on. The Y axis anti wobble rides on the nylon pins in the same block.

I will most likely make a writeup for the anti wobble, but I don’t know if I’ll do one for the whole z setup. There hasn’t been as much interest in it . Forum user Tomscables actually put the exploded diagram in the x axis together and graciously allowed me to include it in the documentation.
