Creality Falcon 2 Adjustable Z-Axis Table

Overview:

This Z-axis table is engineered to mount directly onto the Creality Falcon2 laser engraver frame, providing approximately 6 inches (150 mm) of vertical adjustment. This lift creates sufficient clearance to accommodate the design within the engraver’s enclosure measuring  28.3" x 28.3" x 15.7" ( 72cm x 72cm x 40cm ).

The Z-axis control module used for this design has been include as an independent project which can be found in my 3D Models see:  ES32 Control Case

Build Notes:

• I noticed that the aluminum panel beneath the honeycomb laser bed was sagging slightly, so I corrected the issue by placing neodymium rectangular magnets under the outer frame—positioned at the center of each edge of the honeycomb.

• I used the following jig to join the ends of the GT2 belt.
