K8200 Z-Axis cable driven stabilizer / parallel drive

thingiverse

The original part wasn't strong enough for my application, so i made a version that is strong enough for my needs. Also provided are some picures of my printer that show my setup. On the pictures you can see that the tentioner i use, doesn't collide with the pulleys, and has enough space to get me my Zmax of 218mm and has room to spare. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.6mm Infill: 100% Notes: 0.8mm nozzle 0.6mm layer hight 100% infill. Instructions Please take a look at the Original post for more advanced instructions and the rest of the parts you need to print. Further improvement Now all that could be improved are the pulleys, the big one seems strong enough for the tention, but one of the small ones has split on me though. I think it would be best to buy metal ones, or maby find a way to fix the printed ones. Because the layers are parallel with the rope, it's doomed to split under high tention. Also the way of mounting the pulleys could me improved. Having one screw to hold the bearing, and one or two others to fasten the part. This way the bearing could move more freely. Drilling all the way trough the aluminium profile to mount two pulleys with one screw would also be a really good way, i think.
