The Z-Plus kit includes everything you need to upgrade your existing X/Z-carriage to the Z-Plus (X/Z+). The Z-Plus kit also includes new inductive proximity switches to replace the original homing switches. There are minor differences in the installation procedures between Shapeoko 3, XL, and XXL models AND between Shapeoko models shipped pre-Dec 2019 and post-Dec 2019.
Note: Because this upgrade requires a change to proximity limit switches, only machines with the Carbide Motion PCB version 2.4 or higher are supported. If your machine is newer than Feb 2017, it's probably got a supported PCB. If you have an older machine, or you're not sure what board you have, please contact support@carbide3d.com.
Note: This is not compatible with the Shapeoko 4.
Includes:
- Stepper motor with integrated leadscrew
- Custom made anti-backlash nut
- Twin HG15-style linear rails with two linear guides on each rail
- Plates are .25" anodized aluminum (6061)
- Proximity homing switches for X, Y, and Z (with adapter board)
- EZ-Tram plate to make it easier to adjust left/right tilt of the spindle
