Ballscrew dustcover recommendation was created by Louis Cypher

Dear Forum,

I have a gantry type 3 axis milling machine. Since I will machine a lot of foam I want to protect the ballscrews from dust and chips. Can you point me to good solutions to do so? I was thinking of a bellow type cover.

Thanks in advance,

Louis

Cool, that's what I will do! The paper version should be easy to produce on a laser cutter. Anybody here knows a source for Tyvek paper?

Found some. No need to search
