Bot using commercial motorised linear stages? Hi Gang, I'm wondering if it's possible to make a bot out of commercial (Parker Daedal) motorised linear stages together with RAMBo or RAMPS electronics. In a nutshell, I already have the stages but will need to add the driver electronics and extruder. These stages have a very coarse thread pitch - roughly 0.2" per revolution - so even with x16 micro stepping I'm looking at a movement of roughly 0.0016mm per micro step. My question is: is that step size compatible with RAMBo / RAMPS? Or is my project doomed from the start? Thanks. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,238289,238289#msg-238289 Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:32:29 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,238289,240553#msg-240553 Re: Bot using commercial motorised linear stages? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,238289,240553#msg-240553 cnc dick Developers Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:58:53 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,238289,240483#msg-240483 Re: Bot using commercial motorised linear stages? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,238289,240483#msg-240483 grael Developers Wed, 28 Aug 2013 06:05:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,238289,239322#msg-239322 Re: Bot using commercial motorised linear stages? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,238289,239322#msg-239322
