Cnc 3018 z axis upgrade So I ordered a 500W spindle, and took the opportunity to to some upgrades. I will add a LM12UU and LM14UU variant for the X linear guides . It's also easy and worthwhile to add limit switches and a Z probe, even better rails for the X axis, which is one of the weakest points of the 3018. I purchased an upgraded z-axis for my generic 3018 CNC but I couldn't find details of how well they worked or how to fit them. With our Z-Axis upgrade, if your stock fits under the gantry WARNINGI just printed the model with LM16UU bearings and noticed the carriage does not fit with the default "side plates", so I made my own (out of aluminium)The flex that those 16mm bars have is still quite a bit, so I guess if you really want a sturdy machine you might have a better time using completely different linear guides.
