Gold Series sturdy leadscrew alignment tools for V-Core 3

thingiverse

These are sturdy leadscrew alignment tools for the Rat Rig V-Core 3 printers. 24/10/21 Updated too version two (v2) to correct a small (0.25 mm) but important dimension inaccuracy in the front lead screw alignment tool. Do not use v1 files. If you decide to contribute to my coffee fund to keep me up late at night doing more of this stuff I would appreciate this, but there is absolutely no obligation for you to do this. My PayPal account is liam@fastbikegear.co.nz Recommend you print two of each and use one at the top and bottom when aligning your lead screws and motors. Same tool can be flipped once you have printed it out to be used on both left and right hand side lead screw. The best way to use these is in conjunction with Rat Rigs linear rail alignment jigs. Step 1. loosen off the motor mount, so it is just free to move. Step 2. loosen off the linear rail so it is just free to move. Step 3. fit guides at top and bottom as shown in photo. Step 4. align everything. ( I had to give my motor mount a little affectionate tap to get it into the right position.) Step 5. gradually tighten up the linear rail and motor mount while making sure neither shifts. Step 6. Remove guides and enjoy.
