![XYZ Axis Lead Screw - WorkHorse 3D Printer Build
We just finished CNC machining the Y-Axis components for the workhorse 3d printer. Its fascinating to watch the x and y gantry move with the Igus high helix lead screw with 50mm lead.

We have to drive the lead screw with nema 23s powered by the Duet Wifi electronics board by Duet3d.
A leadscrew (or lead screw), also known as a power screw[1] or translation screw,[2] is a screw used as a linkage in a machine, to translate turning motion into linear motion. Because of the large area of sliding contact between their male and female members, screw threads have larger frictional energy losses compared to other linkages. They are not typically used to carry high power, but more for intermittent use in low power actuator and positioner mechanisms. Common applications are linear actuators, machine slides (such as in machine tools), vises, presses, and jacks.[3]
Leadscrews are manufactured in the same way as other thread forms (they may be rolled, cut, or ground).
A lead screw is sometimes used with a split nut also called half nut which allows the nut to be disengaged from the threads and moved axially, independently of the screws rotation, when needed (such as in single-point threading on a manual lathe).
