Modular X-ends || Sturdy & Easy to Print

pinshape

These are my X-ends. They consist of three distinct components which can be printed separately and then assembled using 3mm bolts and nuts, don't forget washers. If the motor holder breaks, you can print only that part. The motor and idler mount are less likely to break when tightening the X-belt since they are printed flat against the bed. Works with LM8UU. Place the M8 nut on the underside only and add a small drop of super glue if it needs it. I haven't actually printed this yet, but I will soon. Sivar has had some great experience with this and has been a real help. Check his print from the "Made" section. Updates: 6/13/2013: Added a thin raft to a part that was prone to detaching from the bed. 6/2/2013: Added V3 files. The smooth rod clamping is now completely different and should fix the bending that happened before. V3 parts are compatible with original ones, so if you already printed the first files but want to test out the new base, it will work with your existing motor and idler bracket.
