3018-PRO CNC order Extended Z-Axis (80mm Stroke) - PCCF Carbon Fiber Composite Construction

Extended 80mm Z-Axis travel for your 3018 Desktop CNC Router. Made from lightweight, rigid and heat resistant Polycarbonate infused with Carbon Fibers. This product variation, is ready to receive your OEM Z-Axis stepper motor. (continue reading)

Our NCPRO 3018 CNC, Extended Z-Axis Carriage solves one of the fundamental limitations of the 3018 CNC model line: lack of Z-Axis travel. Our new Y/Z-Axis assembly replaces both the stock X and Z-Axis carriage/spindle mount assemblies netting a full 80mm of travel in the Z-Axis. With our Z-Axis upgrade, if your stock fits under the gantry, you can mill it! In addition to the new increase in machine workspace, you'll finally be able to lift the spindle with end-mill, well clear of your order work – allowing unobstructed access to critical job setup tasks. (note photos shown with stepper motor attached are examples of final assembly using the end-user provided NEMA 17 stepper from the stock 3018 Z-Axis)

Our new assembly is made with our exclusive, in-house, precision post-processing, of professionally crafted PET-G (FDM) parts. It is exactly this post processing and attention to detail in the assembly, that ensures smooth and proper function of the linear axis bearings and lead screws. And ultimately your satisfaction.

This Extended Z-Axis Carriage ships with our standard 775 type spindle mount (and we suggest that this stock spindle is a good pairing for most 3018 machines). And zero-backlash nylon lead-screw blocks.

Bring your own Stepper Motor!

This unit is shipped assembled, ready to receive the stock NEMA 17 stepper motor from your old Z-Axis assembly. Your new Z-Axis will readily receive the stepper motor from your 1610-PRO, 1810-PRO, 3018-PRO, 3018-PROver (and similar) desktop CNC machine. As there can be great variation in machines, please read all of the specifications below to ensure a proper compatibility with your CNC machine.

Here are the specifications from the stock stepper motor that our Z-Axis upgrade was developed to receive:
Nema 17 Stepper Motor, 1.3A 25Ncm
5mm diameter shaft.
