Yazzo Linear Slide Carriage

This is the first design my daughter has made. I said to here, "How can you improve on that other design which has limitations?", and she came up with this.

A modification on the first version. The first version of the Z-carriage had a couple of limitations. One was the fact that there is a limit to how big you can print the thing. If you're platform is only 100mm, then the maximum separation you could have had was 100mm.

The other limitation is actually one of the interesting design points. It created a teater totter between the sliding rods and the opposing lead screw using the mounting rod as the fulcrum. Although interesting for easy balance and support, it limits the distance between the lead screw and the front face of the carriage. Bottom line, it's a nice design, but we came up with a better way.

This thing is a carriage that is meant to ride along the z-axis. It has capture nuts on the bottom, and in the middle, so that it will ride up and down with the turn
