Hi, Bruce,
Yes, that would reduce the maximum frequency, but at the cost of resolution.? As I am not sure how critical the resolution is to the application, I would tend to preserve the

I had a single y axis ELS system with a tachometer and a hall effect magnet for the encoder. The system worked alright to a degree but was getting skipping issues. So with a great help from Richard

Regarding my ELS purchases¡
I bought the encoder pulleys from SDP in Hicksville, NY.? I do not recommend them.? They are quite expensive.? I ended up paying a total of $40 in shipping

Wouldn¡¯t that be fixable by a larger gear on the encoder, reducing the ratio? Or would it require redoing the mount?

Hi, Richard,
I ended up using an 600 PPR encoder that has identical specs to John's.? The mechanical speed is not an issue; maximum spindle speed with the gear reduction is 1250 RPM; at a 3:1 gear

Thanks John, have have a lot of Nema 23 motors on hand, I do not know the
specs on any of them.
If I ever get to my shop I'll start looking at mounting them. I have
relatively speaking a lot of room

STEP and IGES files are pretty much universal among the CAD programs, with STEP being the preferred format, IMO.

Apologies for replying to my own post but to overcome the problem I
outlined it is possible to buy an 1800 p/r encoder E6B2-CWZ6C via
Aliexpress this unit is rated at 100Khz and 6000 rpm.

Hi Ralph.
Playing catch up on e mails. Phew !!!!
I used a 3:1 ratio,the 6 mm dia encoder spindle 10T and the driver off the
spindle 30 T.
2.5 mm pitch and belts accordingly.

I use M Cam (old prog ) for drafting, does all I need but limited to the

Bear in mind that the 600 line encoder was used as I had one. Ensure you
check how your top spindle speed relates to the lines, ratio and max
encoder revs from its specification! Typically a 600 line

Hi Greg.
Thanks for the post.
In this first trial I am using PLA. and see how it all works out.
ABS is stronger but can also become brittle ( I think) over periods of time.
