This is more because of the shafts, not the leadscrews, but if you'll be making 500mm I would suggest to go both with 10mm. In my case the parabolic move could be corrected with probe and table autolevel. For me also money was a factor, this build was taking a long time to finish :) But I think if I'd bought everything at one time, I wouldn't have such fun as making it. Basically I was buying one necessary part at a month (e.g. motors) and then the rest of the time was for thinking how can I use it cheapest way, thanks to such approach my custom removable T-table was born. So take your time and don't hurry, just enjoy the build process!hardware.coderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560641558484800789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104746525147804488.post-46345413198013791212019-08-14T07:47:34.205+02:002019-08-14T07:47:34.205+02:00Hi, I am also planning to make my first very simil...Hi, I am also planning to make my first very similar to what you have done. How is the performance with the 8mm leadscrew and shafts play wise? I was told that using a T8 , 500mm leadscrew unsupported design is not a good idea. Ideally I would love to go for supported one, but cost is a factor for me, so wanted to know how bad is it? Thanks, and awesome work ! :)Ankithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850169903126468671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104746525147804488.post-15880060606445341322019-08-02T21:20:30.733+02:002019-08-02T21:20:30.733+02:00Hey, I'm using bCNC.

I'm using it mostly on linux virtual machine and connect to my CNC via bluetooth (bCNC sees it as serial port). It also supports homing (if you have end stops connected) and calibrating using camera (but I've never use it).

If you'd like to estimate it more-less, just sum up stuff in "Parts" section of this post. The most expensive was the spindle and stepper motors, then the shafts, rollers and aluminium profiles at the end.hardware.coderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560641558484800789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104746525147804488.post-51805660991981272832019-07-24T04:30:02.836+02:002019-07-24T04:30:02.836+02:00Great Build!!
