These are printed parts for a floating head mechanism for plasma tourch. In order to fully assemble, you will need:
* Printed parts (main part, top and bottom holders)
* 4x ball bearings (standard 15mm outer, 8mm inner diameter, used for many of prusa like 3d printers)
* 2x 8mm diameter rods (also used for 3d printers)
*10x M5 bolts (30 or 35mm length)
* 10x M5 blolts
* 4x SK8 Lead Screw Linear axis bracket
* 2x small springs
* 1x mounting plate (should be made of something stronger than plastic)
It holds standard 35mm diameter 'machine' style plasma torch.
Please, note that the holes for bearrings are tight for a purpose. I had to hammer mine with a rubber hammer, however now they hold in place very nicely. If you find your's too tight, just sand the inner walls just a little bit.
And, ofc, you need an endstop mounted somewhere near in order for the mechanism to be completed.
