The Easy Linear Stage is a an open sourced fully printable linear stage. The design leverages a fully printed lead-screw and nut which makes it very cheap and easy to produce at the cost of mechanical strength. The fully printed linear stage versions should not be motorised nor used to move large masses due to this, they are primarily intended for where precise positioning is required for payloads of less than 2 KG. They are compatible with the [[Open Pump and Sprayer Project]] via a printed clamp assembly. ![[Easy Stage In Mesh Cover 1.jpg]] # Manufacturing Techniques Required ==Required Manufacturing Technologies== - [[Basic FDM 3D Printer]] ==Optional Manufacturing Technologies== - __None__ # Bill Of Materials ==Required Reagents== - [[PETG|PETG FDM Filament]] - [[Silicone Grease]] - M3 Bolts ==Optional Reagents== - Rubber Band -> See [[Easy Linear Stage Build Options]] # Digital Files ## GitHub The primary repository for the project can be found on GitHub under [EasyPrintedStages](https://github.com/SGTHANKI/EasyPrintedStages). It will always have the most up to date version of the project and any new forks/versions will be posted there first. Other stages from the [[Easy Printed Stages]] project can be found there as well. ## Printables The project is also hosted on [Printables](https://www.printables.com/@Hungry_Hank_1776250) where some printer specific 3mf files can be found for printers I have access to. # Instructions - [[Easy Linear Stage Build Options]] - [[Easy Linear Stage Printing Instructions]] - [[Easy Linear Stage Assembly Instructions]]
