Making cheap components accessible for hobbyists while fixing their downsides... this is video is everything what is RIGHT about 'youtube blogging' and restores my faith in humanity!
Video is good agree but this comment is a bit too much of praise ,🤣
@@UncleF115 let's look at the content of the comment: the comment shows adoration for a yt creator for showing how to take a cheap component into a more capable version while saving a significant amount of money, the original comment also alludes to the yt community as a whole in contrast to this video. I think even the most fervent fan of many yt channels would admit that the majority of yt content could be considered frivolous, pedestrian, non helpful, etc. Nothing against that, even within the 3d printing community engineering videos with humor and appreciable understanding and skill is not the majority.
Most content in this space consists of simple reviews (to the point of barely being more then a spec sheet read or outright advertising-again not hating just stating the environment. Creators have to eat) or "look at my thingiverse model I printed" (again no judgement, it has its place especially for children or people new to the scene-it's how I introduced my wife to the hobby).
The original comment could be perhaps energetic but people get excited (I know I am) at what possibilities open up on the diy scene. The person was far more concise than I have been for sure.
If you have any videos that you feel perhaps are more worthy of praise please share especially if they are aimed at the making/engineering scene. I assume from your username and previous comment you may see yourself as a person with more discerning taste. Please do share any links or channels worthy of general praise.
How "accessible" are they, though?

In very few occasions I'm grateful for the all mighty TH-cam algorithm. Today was one of the them!
This is an elegant workaround fix : fair amount of thinking, efficient, compact...and it seems pretty cheap. Impressive ! Congratulations !!!
You've made a "flexure", very cool to see someone arrive at this idea all on their own!
What a genius resolution! I’m am always I’m awe of the work that you produce, you are incredibly inspirational. Thank you!
As my dad says "what you don't know will kill you". I had been planning on making a printer with the $20 ball screws, but I didn't understand the issues I could encounter from them! Thanks for this very interesting and informative video!
I wanted to build a cnc with them. Sheeesh the decouplers are a must. Good old Oldham could work, but ball bearing wing thing like in this video is even better!
I need to say, that I am absolutely super impressed with the solution to deal with using cheap parts, also the fact you share this with the hobby community it is just outstanding. I am about to embark on a high temperature version of your DIY for carbon fibre printing. So excited. Once again ingenious solution to the problem.
A serious piece of engineering. Awesome project.
This is what engineering is all about, see a limitation and find the best solution to delimit within the working constraints.
This is a nice solution that allows one to save a ton of money and print parts that are good enough for most jobs, I'm impressed.
This approach is quite smart! I worked on an approach to solve this when still using home depot threaded rods during the reprap times and it never really worked well. This approach is brilliant in comparison! And I even like the name :D
Wow, fantastic work, an elegant outside-the-box design solution! You won my subscription with this video!
That's what I call Quality Content leading to somewhere where people actually can learn and advance. Thank you very much!
Excellent Idea, I'll add to my design, it's amazing!
Interesting implementation of the Oldham coupler. Pretty nice machine and build, following.
Fantastic accomplished. Well done.
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us👍😀
I loved this video. You laid out the problem so concisely and your solution is genius.
Thank you for this!
I ordered lead screws just 2 days before this video and I just cancelled them immediately upon seeing this video👍
Man, this is an incredible video. Thanks for your work, it was a pleasure to watch.
Great video and so informative on how the HevORT works!! I now understand how ball screws work and learned about the wobble wings!!
This was actually right in my wheelhouse. Very enjoyable.
Really like the presentation of a problem, and then the demonstration of a solution. This is excellent. I might share it with a friend of mine, and am for sure sharing it with my kids.
Elegant solution, and great explanation. Thanks!
Pure quality content! Thank you!
yeah, totally underrated channel
@@TeaObvious - I agree, totallyObviously a great channel which deserves all the best
(And it seems to be working - TH-cam promoted this to me on the frontpage :ø)
this is brilliant and really encompasses what it means to be a hobbyist and a maker.
Great concept! I will try to adapt this idea to my threaded rod assembly as I have similar artefacts on my prints.
excellent insights! thanks a lot! 👏😎
Mars!! Nice to see you here :)
Very nice, clever, and fun approach! I would also consider simply removing the support bearing at the top of the ball screw, and replacing it with a relatively loose fitting plastic/bronze bushing. The clearance (looseness) should be large enough to enable the imperfect ball screw to freely 'wobble' radially, without transmitting that wobble to the platform. It's not a fun, elegant solution, but it may work very well. Thank you -- I watched your entire video :)
Awesome work. Love the work you have put in. I will definitely be building a custom version of your printer once finances permit. Thank you again for the great work.
Brilliant, and impressive persistence!
revolutionary! Youre on another level with this stuff.
This is one of the Ph.D.-grade solutions to a rather tricky engineering problem. You have done a great job of not only demonstrating it but explaining it so that any DIY'er can understand as well as make it for themselves. This is the sort of idea that makes the current web content makes it a valuable "OPEN SOURCE" idea sharing. Seriously this is one that you could have applied for a patent but then it may not be "Open and free" anymore unless you offered an unrestricted open license.
BTW, I won't be surprised if any of those "entrepreneurial" folks from the far east just copy your idea to offer the solution at a "cheap" price to offset the problems of the "cheap" ball screws you so elegantly worked out. Anyway I am sure you are sharing this with full knowledge of the benefits to the Maker communities around the globe👍👍😁😁
Wow. A new standard in TH-cam vids related to 3D Printing!
Loved every second of this process
It's a good stop gap, using magnets to alleviate the z-wobble associated with inexpensive rolled ball screws.
Great video, great analytics, and innovation to solve a problem! About ball and lead screws: They are more accurate and last much longer if they don't support weight, such as the Z axis. This should be done with a counterweight or counter spring that reduces the force on the screw to a few ounces. Even massive milling machines with massive ball screws use big counterweights or their screws wouldn't last a month. It could introduce backlash, but that's another problem for you to defeat!
I like the counter weight idea... make the counterweight big enough and now the ball bearing is pulling down the bed, instead of a ball bearing and magnet to support the plate, a simple set of strings might be enough. Or invert the whole thing, instead of having the bed pushed up, have it pulled up (suspended on the ballscrews.... no counter weight, same results
This is very clever, excellent problem solving with limited tools. Bootstrapping precision with off the shelf components is no easy task
Lots of thumbs up on getting into details and background to the cause of the problem.
Yet an another amazing video, please upload them more often. As a fellow engineer I love the designs, personally I would have just gone with a good quality lead screw if price is an issue. Cheapo ball screw additional to the wobble might have deviations in pitch as well. Also experience showed me simple always wins at long term use.
All screws have pitch errors. It just depends on your accuracy requirement. When the screws are rolled short term deviation is probably quite small. It will depend on the last couple of turns of the tooling, which one imagines is smoothly channelled.
Absolute error is something else. That depends on how accurately the rolls are made. For short lengths it is probably irrelevant but for 2 mtr lengths a cheapy could be interesting. If you can accurately measure those distances any error can be accounted for in the software.
The real warthog in the workshop is temperature variation. With a daily domestic shed variation of 30 degrees c. here in Oz the 2 mt shaft varies by some 0.4 mm. or 15 thou.
Because of this and I am interested in absolute accuracy, just because I can be, I am looking at measuring displacement independently of the drive system.
This is unbelievable content dude. Keep it up.
Your cad skills are admirable. Not to mention your explanation and knowledge. Subbed!
Absolument incroyable! Just amazing to witness how you approached the problem, looked at where you needed to be, the end goal, and finally how you made the very ingenious transition between these two points. Simply impressive.
Merci! :)
that was a great watch. the cad alone was impressive. Let me know if you need some parts machined lol

Pour moi, la voie que vous avez choisi à travers les duets/servo moteur/X Y Core, etc... et une recherche de performances maximales d'une FDM.
Je pense que vous pouvez encore améliorer vos performances en allégeant vos Axes X et Y avec du Composite de type "Igus" par exemple. Il permet aussi de diminuer les frictions, le bruit à haute vitesse et d'utiliser des lubrifiants secs (silicone ou PTFE). Bref...
La limite est dans le "Flow Nozzle" ?

Fantastic!!! A similar solution could be also implemented on my ender 3 that has a wobbly Z rod!!
If you're brave enough (and I definitely don't encourage it) you can do like I did and hand bend them very carefully back, they're sufficiently soft to be bent by hand at least on 400mm size, it just has to be veeeery slight bends at a time, always checking against a known very flat surface to see the results. It's easy to make it worse tho, specially applying the force on the wrong spot.
Haha buy a new rod
@@REDxFROG it's also probably bent if it's the same quality
Thank you for the time to demonstrate your engineering process. This video is such an awesome idea.
love it, amazing insights and determination to find a way!
Another great innovative discussion!! One thing I would like to have seen is a mention of the fact that lead screws (maybe ball screws too, but I don't know much about them) can vary as to the number of starts for the screw, commonly anywhere from 1 to 4. The more starts the fewer rotations needed for a given vertical displacement, but I'm guessing the easier they are to back-drive. I'm curious if you know any other limitations or advantages to the number of starts, such as wear, or runout of the screws? (Oh yeah, obviously you must match the nut to the screw in number of starts.)
You are correct, the more starts on a lead screw with same thread pitch will provide more travel distance. This allows to have low angle of threads will maintaining good travel distance. It helps avoiding the back driving. spool3d.ca/news/lead-vs-pitch/
Awsome video! Informative and also entertaining, that‘s how it should be. Which 3d printing material have you used, there you have glued in the magnets?
The material used for the gray wings (glued) is Extrudr Greentec Pro Carbon Fiber.
Wow, incredible "maker" engineering! Super inexpensive solution to a complex problem. Bravo.
I just faced this problem and thinking about solving it without extra money. Your project is brilliant! Well done
I guess an alternative to the extra 2 wings is to do only 2 of the ball bearing magnet setups, and have a V shape channel at the third location. The V will prevent rotation and still allow rolling in 1 direction. The other two ball bearings will be able to take up the remainder of the wobble.
I do not think that will work, the V shape channels on the 3 Z axis will result in a kinematic mount? th-cam.com/video/ekUkI9iWUoM/w-d-xo.html
Only 1 is a V shape. Other 2 are the ball bearing on magnet sliding joint. Rotation of the unit will be constrained but it will still be able to slide/wobble in the plane perpendicular to Z
@@benharris4436 Yeah, my thought was that 1 V shape channel on each of the 3 Z axis will form a kinematic mount (across all 3 Z axis). But the points are not rigidly connected to the ball screw or the print bed due to the other 2 magnetic ball joints on each Z axis. So it probably won't be a kinematic mount.
But through the V shape channel, you create a "harder" pivot point compared to the magnet alignment. This could be worse if the ball nut hangs compared to the magnet coupling.
I don't know, I'm not convinced by the concept. I'd rather use belts.
I have though of that at first, but as @phibel mentions here above, that V grooved ball bearing will act as an off axis pivot point potentially inducing rotation deviation in case of wobbling.
@@MirageC I had a similar idea to your approach, also using ball bearings. I was going to use two cylindrical pins embedded into the print for the bearing to run in. Those units can be arranged 180° across from each other and will also constrain rotation. However you need a second stage offset 90° , so it may be a little less compact. I might try it if I have the time to build a printer at some point.
Такую же вещь можно сделать и на винтовой подачи
This is so brilliant! Thx for sharing this great idea!
Thanks for an awesome investigation! It's time to look for some cheap ball screws now!
Why not have a belted Z axis? I have it on my Pro 3D V-King and I get no Z wobble + its cheap
A wonderful video and beautiful engineering design!
There is nothing wrong with belts. Use them if you like. However screws being a metall part, they can widthshand high temperatures much better. For example the best belts at the moment are made by Gates - they are rated for 135c, but they do tend to wear out faster at elevated temperatures nevertheless.
Also i wonder what happens if your z belt ever fails? Does one side of the bed just fall down until it jams on it's rail's thrust bearing?
@@dreamcat4 You can pretty easily calculate the amount of gearing required for the motors to hold the weight of the bed when turned off so your bed doesn't droop if you loose power or something. It is my opinion as well that if you've got this many motors you might as well go with belts since I don't really see many benefits for the ball screws.
@@dreamcat4 It is possible to isolate the belts from the heat (in some cases). And yes, belt failure would have your heatbed drop. However since belts are so dirt cheap and easy to replace, and dont have any of the problems associated with ball screws, I believe a well-designed Z-axis-system using belts (maybe more than one?) is superior in all aspects to a ball screw. It has to be overengineered so flexibility-related issues don't come into play, but it all pays off in my opinion. Z-wobble is just fucked man.
@@youngtschakaloff Thanks you your replies here. I think in response to your points... it seem like a difficult problem to thermally isolate z axis belts AND seal the chamber for higher temperatures. Compared to (for example) sealing away belts for the other x-y axis. Your other point about belts being cheap to replace: well that is only really true for regular belts. However the hi temp belts are twice the price. To you can immediately double that. And of course then the more belts you need to replace, that difference in cost is going to eventually become more significant at some point. Doubling the belt width also going to double the price of replacing them too. So it all stacks up. And depends entirely on the specific configuration. But more so the MTBF for belt failure become exponential past a certain point when increasing the temperature. And getting to around or above the rated spec. Therefore it's more difficult to know ahead of time designing the printer how durable the belts will actually be in practice. I.e. for a given target temperature that you are trying to hit (that is above 100c). Well... by comparison ball screws don't seem to have the same set of problems / trade offs. I am willing to accept the fact there are other possible issues with ball screws. Just that belts are not always so perfect either. It just remains very unclear to me what the actual other dealbreakers still are with ball screws, after seeing this wobble joint solution video. And the performance / results of it as demonstrated.
@@dreamcat4 yes, great points you made there. You see, I talked to many people about the best kinetic system (cartesian, delta or coreXY) and it seems as if coreXY is the best, except for if you have Z-wobble issues. So I decided to construct and build my own printer. It is still an unfinished project but it will be a CoreXY with linear rails on all axis as well as worm gears and belts for the Z-movement. After putting the Z-system together and making everything work, I will isolate the whole print area and maybe make a custom watercooled hotend. That way no components, including belts are facing any heat. I am sure that this will give the best printing results for the money, all things considered (heated chamber too). I am planning to make a video when its all done but until then, there is some months of work left. Now, you got me thinking. Would it maybe make sense to use chains instead of belts? It's just that I don't think that noise ever was an issue for the Z-axis. Just an idea.
This needs to be patented. Even if you make it public, it's necessary to prevent some Jackass from doing it and making money from your hard work.
by the very nature of publishing it, it can't be patented - its now "prior art" that will also prevent other patenting the same thing (but ofc someone will change the font and get a questionable patent)
patents are an hinderance to progress. IF reprap was patented, what would have happened to the 3D printing community you think? Many stupid patents exists, for instance, the heated enclosure is patented... I could be partially fine with a patent offering a manufacturing method, or a non-trivial innovation, but many patents are simply preventing concepts from being used by others. IE : heated enclosure. Did they invent the oven? no. But using it for 3D printing is enough to be granted a patent it seems...
Open source is a constant source of innovation. See how Arduino changed stuff. Reprap too. Openbuilds. Or more recently how risc V is changing the micro controller ecosystem....
So thank you to the creator for his video, and documenting it. Indeed, open source is nothing without documentation!
This isn't actually new: Roll-in-Cage (RNC) isolation has been used in civil engineering to decouple the lateral movement of foundations from the structures they support in quake-prone areas for decades. The first ever suggestion (on record) of supporting structures with spherical bodies dates all the way back to 1906.
@@AudreyRobinel I believe the FDM 3d printing process was already patented long ago. I'm sure a google search or two would turn up some patent documents. I think reprap was only able move forward with things because the patent ran out but that is just speculation on my part.
@@K9Megahertz that was my point!
When the patent was active, not much happened in the consumer 3D printing space. When the patent expired, a new industry emerged. 3D printers went from enormous expensive machines to small, cheap and easy to use devices... Slicers got amazing, with plenty of amazing free software to back things up, such as marlin, octopring, prusaslicer, cura, etc...
Super awesome video!! Love your out of the box approach on solving issues
Great video and exploration. I didn't know what the wobble wings were for until now
Outstanding work sir

You are great inventor. Thank you for being such a active part of community. May your work help humanity achieve great things.
This is some fantastic work here. I'll keep an eye out for further dev!
This is a video I didnt know I needed to see. I had an issue with my cnc router where the Z axis was off by up to .020 TIR along the entire work area. I have bought linear rails to replace the rods. But now I will check the ball screws as well.
Well I love it! I am tempted to remake the z axis in my printers just to see it working.
