New Gimble For The Nimble/ 2020 & 1515 Aluminum Extrusion

thingiverse

***Update 10-29-2019:*** I have made a new version of the *** extruder_mount_bearing_holder.stl*** that is larger so you can add a cooling fan to the stepper motor. I added another bearing to the new part to improve the movement and to help with the added weight. Two version of the new design: 1. Can be printed in one piece ***extruder_mount_bearing_holder_v2.stl*** 2. Can be printed in two pieces and bolted together with (4) M4 x 12mm button head bolts and (4) m4 nylon loc-nuts or hex nut ***extruder_mount_bearing_holder_v2_partA.stl*** ***extruder_mount_bearing_holder_v2_partB.stl*** Other updated designs: 1. ***X_endcapL_v2.stl*** too fit extruder_mount_bearing_holder_v2.stl/ extruder_mount_bearing_holder_v2_partA.stl. 2. ***X_endcapR_v2.stl*** too fit extruder_mount_bearing_holder_v2.stl/ extruder_mount_bearing_holder_v2_partA.stl. 3. ***2020_extrusion_mount_v2.stl…*** simpler design and requires (2) M4 x 12mm button head bolts. 4. ***1515_extrusion_mount_v2.stl…*** simpler design and requires (2) M4 x 12mm button head bolts. 5. ***NEMA17_cooling_shroud.stl…*** This design was done by SergeDSI (originally named stepper-for-xy.stl) 6. ***NEMA14_cooling_Shroud.stl…*** This design I remixed SergeDSI’s original stepper-for-xy.stl to fit a NEMA14 stepper. 7. *** fan_guard.stl*** 8. ***Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX 12v*** is the fans that I used, but you could use any 40x40 fan of your choice. 9. ***Moons MS14HS1P4100*** is the stepper I used with the Nimble Extruder and is optional. Works great. 10. **Optional:** Another thing I did which might be a waste of a bearing is that I took apart a spare bearing so I could use the inner stainless-steel sleeve to use as a spacer in place of the M8_x_9mm_spacer.stl. So much stronger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **A New Gimble Design For The Nimble.** Mounts for 2020 and 1515 aluminum extrusion. **Printed Items:** 1 'extruder_motor_mount.stl' 1 'extruder_mount_bearing_holder.stl' 1 '2020_extrusion_mount.stl' or 1515_extrusion_mount.stl' 3 'M8_x_9mm_spacer.stl' 2 'X_endcap.stl' (optional) **Hardware:** 3 of M8 x 30mm button head bolts for the 608 bearings. 3 of M8 nuts for the 608 bearings. 2 of M4 x 16mm button head bolts for 2020 aluminum extrusion mount 4 of M4 x 12mm button head bolts for mounting the Nimble stepper bracket to the extruder_motor_mount.stl 4 of M4 nylon lock nuts for mounting the Nimble stepper bracket to the extruder_motor_mount.stl 2 of M4 "T" nuts for 2020 aluminum extrusion 2 of M4 flat washers (optional) 2 of M3 x 16mm button head bolts for 1515 aluminum extrusion mount 2 of M3 "T" nuts for 1515 aluminum extrusion or hex nuts 2 of M3 flat washers (optional) 4 of [608 ABEC 9](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077F2CN35/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) bearings or other 608 bearings of your choice
