Let’s break down the components you’ve mentioned for Reprap 3D printer spare parts:
-
HPV4 V-Slot Linear Model (400-500mm):
- This linear model is designed for precise movement along the Z-axis in 3D printers.
- It comes in various effective travel lengths: 400mm, 450mm, and 500mm.
- The guide width or diameter options include T8-2mm, T8-4mm, T8-8mm, T8-12mm, and T8-14mm.
- You can find this kit on Aliexpress for $26.99.
-
Stepper Motor (3401S):
- The 3401S stepper motor is likely a NEMA17 motor.
- Unfortunately, I couldn’t find specific details about the 3401S variant, but NEMA17 motors are commonly used in 3D printers.
- These motors provide precise control for moving the printer’s axes.
-
Lead Screw (T8*8):
- The T8*8 lead screw is part of the Z-axis mechanism.
- The “T8” refers to the thread pitch (8mm per revolution), and the “*8” indicates the lead (8mm of linear travel per revolution).
- Lead screws are essential for translating rotational motion from the stepper motor into linear movement.
