Modified and split Z-stage for Ultimaker 2 Aluminum Extrusion 3D printer

thingiverse

Been working on the "Ultimaker 2 Aluminum Extrusion 3D printer" on a small printer, so I had to split up the parts to be able to print them. There are 2 different top and two different bottom pieces. The names should clearly indicate what it is. There are 2 different bottom middel pieces (motor-Mount) where one is shortened a bit in case the 3 pieces making up the bottom gets a bit wide. Changes: Top 1.1) Top of Z-stage has been split in two. 1.2) Added a hole for an M3 screw for each top part. REMEMBER you need to add 2 extra T-nuts. 1.3) Enlarged 12mm rod holes to 12,4mm to make them fit after 100% infill (which I strongly recommend) 1.4) Made some build in support in the 12,4mm hole to make it cleaner. Easy to remove afterwards - you CAN use support in addition if you need it for the longish hole in the parts. 1.5) One version of the top pieces has 2mm deeper hole for the 12mm rod (hole is still 12,4mm) and I lengthened the piece in order to move the location of the nut. 1.5) I "accidentially" uploaded a version of the top.right side with build in support. Use it if you like. Same as the other extended model otherwise. Bottom: 1.1) Split the bottom Z-stage into 3 parts. 1.2) Enlarged 12mm rod holes to 12,4mm to make them fit after 100% infill (which I strongly recommend) 1.3) Filled up the "hole" for the motor in the bottom of the middle section as it made for manual cleaning and enlarging. The motor fits just fine underneath it still. (I use 40mm motor, but larger motors should be fine when you use feets on your case). 1.4) One version of the left and right pieces has 7mm deeper holes for the 12mm rods - holes are still 12.4mm in diamenter.
