Description
- Carbide 3D Heavy-Duty Z/X Axis Upgrade for Shapeoko 3 (PCB 2.4d+ Compatible)
- Enhances rigidity
- Maintains Z clearance
- Supports 2.2kw spindles
- Includes proximity switches
- Pre-assembled kit
The Carbide 3D Heavy-Duty Z/X Axis Upgrade for Shapeoko 3, also known as HDZ, is a meticulously engineered enhancement designed to replace the existing X/Z carriage on the Shapeoko 3. This premium upgrade introduces additional rigidity and maintains the same Z clearance, ensuring no loss of working space. The HDZ is built around a robust ball screw and linear rails system, facilitating smooth movement of the Z-axis, even when accommodating heavier spindles.
The upgrade features a substantial 150mm of Z-travel and a 15mm machined aluminum back plate, making it ideal for use with heavy-duty 2.2kw spindles, which are supported by a new 80mm mount. The inclusion of inductive proximity switches and mounts for the X, Y, and Z axes enhances the functionality and precision of the machine. The HDZ is fully compatible with Carbide 3D and Carbide Motion software, ensuring seamless integration and support.
The kit is pre-assembled to a large extent, requiring minimal effort to install. The spindle mount and limit switches from the original setup are the only components needed to complete the assembly. The necessary GRBL adjustments are managed through Carbide Motion software.
Please note that this upgrade is only compatible with machines that have the Carbide Motion PCB version 2.4d or higher. Machines newer than February 2017 are likely to be compatible. If the compatibility of the machine is uncertain, assistance is available to determine the suitability of the upgrade. Additionally, for those with an enclosure around their machine, a minimum clearance of 270mm from the top of the X rail is required to accommodate the HDZ.
