Electronic lead screw kits

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Please join t.me/MaximKachurovskiy for sneak peaks about the 2-axis ELS 😀

[@LoremIpsum1970]

I only just found this, and you're done with it after a year? Shame, it was just what I was looking for. 😥 And I'm in the UK not the EU... If anyone in the UK bought one and doesn't plan on using it, I'd be interested for the right price!

[@adamfaris9375]

I should probably order a kit before saying the cost is too low. 😂 90 euros seems very affordable for the kit. I hope you are making something extra for your time. Thanks for putting this together.

[@JesseSchoch]

great to see you able to make this available!

[@HM-Projects]

Looks very compact and well put together, nice 👍

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Thank you 😀 Seems like a simple thing but I've spent so much time putting it together... It takes 10x longer to get something to market than to make it work 😮

[@HM-Projects]

@@MaximKachurovskiy indeed, at least you don't have to deal with various certifications / compliance issues or dealing with contract manufacturing at this stage 😆

[@WheatMillington]

I'm really interested in this. I already have a heavily modified Clough42 ELS, which I'm happy with but always keen to experiment. I'm extremely keen to hear about your 2-axis ELS.

[@garyhardman8369]

A bit disappointed that you don't ship to UK.

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Fixed!

[@ulkersa2099]

Restocking isn't planned for now. !!!

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Yep, that sucks BIG TIME. It seems every thing I find that I need was released years ago and are no longer available...every time!

[@The_Unobtainium]

I can see you have stahlwerk welding machine. What you think about it? There is almost no reviews on the internet.

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

@@The_Unobtainium it works without issues, I didn't get good results in aluminum but perhaps I used wrong material or settings. Current models are probably different from my old version so not sure if my experience is relevant for you.

[@Festivejelly]

Interested in one of these kits. What else do I need to buy though? Im guessing stepper motor, driver, encoder and power supply?

[@Festivejelly]

I see your current version is updated! Very interested in this!

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

@@Festivejelly thank you. Yes, your list is correct

[@Festivejelly]

Awesome ill be placing my order later today then! Do you have a manual on how to use this?@@MaximKachurovskiy

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

@@Festivejelly thanks! Yes, github.com/kachurovskiy/nanoels/blob/main/h4/

[@HermitFab]

Hello, do you have any videos detailing what size stepper motor you use and how to mount them?

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Hi Clint, for a tabletop lathe like mine NEMA 23 3Nm is the classic choice.

[@HermitFab]

@@MaximKachurovskiy thanks Maxim, do you still have ELS kits in stock? Just curious why you made a new controller when you already had rocketronics unit? Did you just want to create a lower cost option for people (which is great!) I'm just trying to decide between your kit and the rocketronics unit which is more advanced but a lot more expensive.

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

@@HermitFab I have plenty of 1-axis in stock and only one of the 4-axis remaining for now. I make them because I like making things 😀 H2 is superior in terms of usability and features for single-axis machines but suffers from using a slow Nano causing "no microstepping" limitation. H4 fixes all that and adds a ton of new hardware features while still being open-source and most importantly programmable by the user. H4 software is still in development though.

[@opitical]

is this adjustable for different leadscrew pitches?

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Of course, it fits practically every machine - especially true for the updated version of this controller that customers prefer these days due to features and microstepping - kachurovskiy.com/products/4-axis-electronic-lead-screw-controller

[@Jory-ne8yq]

sold out already! great work, i'll wait for the restock, guess you ship to the netherlands?

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Sadly I can't ship within EU for now due to WEEE requirements. In NL for example they require any seller to pay 175 EUR per year - www.take-e-way.com/news/open-foundation-for-weee-in-the-netherlands/ - for small sellers like me it's a killer 💀

@@MaximKachurovskiy This is just corruption they doing to us! The new world order! One owns everything! I will buy one 4-axis of you soon! Regards from the most corrupt country Sweden!

[@tommelomme6761]

@@MaximKachurovskiy Is it just the stepper, the driver and the rotary encoder that I need to buy separately?

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

@@tommelomme6761 correct!

I now ship to Netherlands, please check kachurovskiy.com/products/4-axis-electronic-lead-screw-controller if you're still interested 👍

[@JohnHoranzy]

What exactly will this do for my lathe that it cannot already do with the change gears? (Grizzly G4000).

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

Move tool left and right without losing the thread, stop lead screw automatically at given points allowing to cut threads close to the chuck, do multi-start threads, change pitch in seconds to any reasonable value (mm, TPI, inch) with micron precision.
