Components:
Aluminium profile T-Slot 30cm
Aluminium profile T-Slot 5cm
Linear guide rail MGN12H 30cm
T8 2mm pitch lead screw 30cm & anti backlash nut
NEMA 17HS8401 stepper motor
NEMA 17 fixed mount bracket
5-8mm flexible coupler
M3 Female2male brass screw thread PCB stand
M5 hex screw + nut + flat washer
M3 hex screw + nut
Zip ties
Enjoy my video!😁

Amazing job!, i agree with other users that there could be play in the block if you dont prevent the lead screw from moving axially. If you buy the standard pillow bearings they come with tiny setscrews and they allow you to fix in place your screw. The alignment will be a bit more challenging but it will make it a solid, flawless design.
thanks
Ah yes 6 times 3 equal 18.Thanks so much that table really help

What is the accuracy? can we get target 0.02 to 0.05 mm accuracy?
how to buy parts for this project?
How to choose our motor
Motor's typically have significant end-play, a mm or two, so without a thrust-bearing that will limit the accuracy/repeatability significantly... For instance there's no need for an anti-backlash nut on the leadscrew if the motor shaft has 1mm endplay (and that coupling can stretch/compress by a similar amount too. If you look at the standard ballscrew kits they come with a preloaded thrust bearing block to define the axial position to tight tolerances.

if that were true, then every 3D printer with a screwed z axis would have that problem which they dont, and those use extreamly cheap steppers.

The holes that you are drilling at 0:28, are these tap holes strong enough to hold the track? I think the thickness of the extrusion material is only 1.5-2 mm, you need at least 3-4 mm for strength

@@ikmalxhakim4419 I thought of using 20x40 extrusion, but since your speaking, it requires 3 to 4 mm thickness for having a good strength(for the bolt)... I'm at little bit confused to wheather use that or not for my project....Any help?

@@sharanamuram2290 what I can recommend is to use T slot nuts instead of tapping the hole. This surely holds the rail enough and more reliable.😁I made a V2 linear actuator (I posted on my insta) in which stepper mount is 3d printed parts and one single 2020 aluminium extrusion. Since I use MGN12 linear rail, I still can use 5cm length 2040 profile for the block carriage. (NOTE: my design here is only applicable to MGN12 rail (block) due to the hole size & spacing )
