bearingless x & z axis Prusa i3

thingiverse

this set of designs replaces the X carriage (extruder carriage) and the Z-axis ends with bearingless parts, it also gives a "quick change" ability for extruder types. **The z-axis parts are designed to be used in conjunction with a z-axis wobble fix** **The belts are attached to the carriage by inserting the ends into the slot and clamping them in place with two 3mm bolts (see picture)** **The various extruder mount options are fixed to the carriage by sliding them on and securing with 3mm bolts top & bottom (see picture)** **I also include the "wobble fix" design but its worth note that this was designed for a 3-bolt brass lead screw nut so may not be applicable to your own hardware, however other 4-bolt and i3 wobble fix's can be used just as easily** A addition extruder type (non e3d long range bowden) design is currently being finalised but I will not publish it till its undergone thorough testing, after which it'll become available on this thingie with a list of any additional hardware requirements. **14/03/2018** long range non-e3d bowden mount added ""this mount requires a single alu mounting block and will work with mk7/8/10 heating blocks and throats** https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hotend-Bar-for-Single-Extruder-aluminum-thermal-core-RepRap-Mendel-3D-pri/151940238781?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
