I modelled z axis linear slider
So for the z axis i modelled the linear slider. I found the slider part's 3d model online, but the rail i didnt, so i modelled it. It was a bit difficult, because of measuring the tiny dimensions, but i did it, so no problem.

The design 'till now
So i beginn the creation of this CNC, laser cutter two years ago. Since then i made 3d model for it and made that in real life. But i'm no where to finish it. I still have to finish the structure, electronics, firmware and callibrating. It will be a long process.
The structure is 80x80 item 80x80 item extrusions on an old robot arm table which i got from a company who didnt need it.
The CNC's volume is around 1.1m x 0.9m x 0.3m. The laser cutters is 0.5m x 0.9m.
The motors are has 3 stepper motors which i have to expand with one for sure, maybe more. Two for x axis and one for the y. I will have to get one for the z also. The steppers are driving ball screws, but they are not assembled in right now so they wont have any problems till then.
With the designing i probably spent 3 hours average per version. It's on the 38th version now so thats 114 hours with designing since beginning. With the hardware assembly spent i probably 30 hours.
P.S.
The design file is getting so big that my computer started to strugle with the whole design.

IRL picture. Background blured for privacy reasons. (Sorry for the mess, i use it as a table when assembling.
