Convert a 4X4 Growth series to a 4X8

Post by Fastyankee »

Is it possible to convert a 4X4 growth series to a 4x10. I would like to take my gantry from my 4x4 and retro fit it with gear drive and build a 10' long table for it.
I figured this is the place to start.
Should I go with a better driver system. I also have AVHC.
I'm not really happy with the Accumove I have, its very un reliable.

Thanks In advance

I am also wondering the same thing. I have been looking at the classic tm3 and how they have their motors mounted. Did you get anything figured out on yours?

Can't help much with the mechanics but for the controls (including the THC) here is a possible solution: https://www.candcnc.com/store-home/tm-rescue-kit/
