Hyper X Carriage

thingiverse

Keeping true to Tech2C's ideal of keeping the X axis set up as light as possible, I experimented with using balsa wood and also integrating different elements that went into the whole X carriage set up to minimise parts and screw counts. In the 2nd iteration, i did away with the brass bushing and also raised the Z clearance. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1871049783171141/permalink/1962681270674658/?comment_id=1963679073908211&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R0%22%7D Notes -------- -The 5015 fan is an integrated part of the whole structure thus have it tighten down properly. -The Con of this design is that it becomes harder to swap out the hot ends if need be. -Silicon sock for the hot end is also a must, as the placement of the BL touch is very close. I highly recommend protecting your BL touch with some Kapton tape and cork sheet. Fans ---------------------- 5015 blower fan x 1 40mm radial fan x 1 (The fan issued together with the hot end/heat sink) Screws and nuts --------------------------------------- M3 6mm x 2 (for BT touch mount) M3 8mm x 3 (1no. for 40mm radial fan mount, 2nos. to mount the BL touch) M3 20mm x 4 (2nos. for e3d clamp & 2nos. for 5015 blower fan) M3 nut x6 (2nos. for e3d clamp, 2nos. for 5015 blower fan, 2nos. for BL touch) Painter's tape & Kapton tape ---------------------------------------- As I am also reducing the weight by removing the self-lubricating brass bushing, it pretty hard to get the integrated printed bushing to fit and thus I had made them with a 10.1mm Inner diameter and compensated for any slack with tapes where needed.
