Z-Independent Bracketing System Files for Makers

Z-Independent Bracket for my LongMill MK2.5

1. The concept is good. 2. The Z-axis mounting adapters didn't fit my Seinci LongMill MK2.5 unit. The mounting brackets would not allow the Z-axis plate to go the full length of the travel of measurement device. 3. When attempting to unbolt the mounting brackets, one broke. I did get the 3d files to print new brackets, but again they woudn't fit on the Z axis mount without interefering with the travel sensor and the proximity switch. NOTE: I was able adjust the 3d file to allow the brackets to clear the path. 4. The mounting bracket fingers would not hold the clear dust collection tube. I fixed the problem by using a velcro strap to hold it in place. 5. I suggest that you replace the pan head screws provide in your kit, with socket head (Allen Key) or standard hex head bolts.

Needed to be tweaked to fit MK2 CNC

I had problems fitting the top brackets. The location of the recess for the vertical rail was off by 2 mm. The width of the side of the support did not have enough clearance for the gantry. Had to redo in fusion. The other parts - while a decent design, are not beefy enough. Redid most in fusion to make it stronger. It could be just my CNC is different. The overall design is good, just needs tweaking. I printed in PETG.

Home 3D printing

I downloaded the files to make a dust collector for my CNC. The files were great, no problems at all. If you are considering making your own parts, go for it. I did buy their hardware, and that worked well. There video on assembly was also very good.
