Hictop 3DP-18 Top Z-Axis Brace W/ Bearing

thingiverse

This is meant for the Hictop 3DP-18 (As far as I know it wont fit other Hictop models). I modified the original braces (Created in Onshape by measuring the original part with a digital caliper.) to allow a bearing to fit since the original design had it freely spin in an acrylic hole. This adds a recessed bearing slot as well as x3 M3 nut slots and screw holes. The screw located inside the part has angled edges to allow screwing by hand with knurled screws. The channel is long enough to fit most screws up to 25mm in overall length. There is a hole opposite the screw hole in the channel that allows an allen key to fit. You will lose 6mm of Z-Axis hight. This part fits skateboard bearings size Z08 (ID:8mm OD:22mm). This was created in Onshape and sliced through Cura (Slic3r Prusa I3 edition is having issues). (Apologies for the mess in the pictures I'm in the middle of building my enclosure) Print Settings Printer: Hictop 3DP-18 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .15 Infill: 30%-100% Notes: I had to print it really slow (20mm or so) since my printer had trouble laying the 3mm anchor screw holes. Flip the orientation 180deg. so the largest surface area is on the bed.
