Anycubic photon Z Axis upgrade, the easy way

thingiverse

Here you find an upgrade for the Z axis of the Anycubic photon, mine never worked and i had Z wobbles. Here is the way i used, no drilling, no CNC parts just some glue and 3D printed parts. Parts needed : - 2 x MGN12 rail of 230mm and 2x MGN12H carriage (took 250mm and cutted them) - 8 x M3x12mm bolts - 4 x M5 nuts - Araldite 2 components glue for metal STEPS : 1) glue the rails onto the old Z axis, push all the parts down to be sure all is aligned and tight the whole stuff with some tools. 2) Check the width with a caliper to be sure it's the same on both side, play with the tools to adjust it if needed. 3) Print the STL file for the adapter. 4) Mount the carriages onto the rail 5) Mount the original plateform holder onto the adpater 6) Fix the adapter onto the carriage, adjust bolts torque so that the move of the carriage is smooth. 7) Bolt all the printer pieces back together and enjoy !
