Floating head for plasma torch

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

These are printed parts for a floating head mechanism for plasma tourch. In order to fully assemble, you will need:
Printed parts (main part, top and bottom holders)
4x ball bearings (standard 15mm outer, 8mm inner diameter, used for many of prusa like 3d printers)
2x 8mm diameter rods (also used for 3d printers)
*10x M5 bolts (30 or 35mm length)
10x M5 blolts
4x SK8 Lead Screw Linear axis bracket
2x small springs
1x mounting plate (should be made of something stronger than plastic)
It holds standard 38mm diameter 'machine' style plasma torch.
Please, note that the holes for bearrings are tight for a purpose. I had to hammer mine with a rubber hammer, however now they hold in place very nicely. If you find your's too tight, just sand the inner walls just a little bit.
And, ofc, you need an endstop mounted somewhere near in order for the mechanism to be completed.
