Railcore X5S

thingiverse

Tronxy X5S edition of the Railcore II. I did buy the aluminium X carriages, but you could also use the printed ones. http://www.mandalaroseworks.com/product/railcore I also edited the Y carriage to accept M3 nuts insted of inserts and mirrored it to be able to keep the original Tronxy X5S orientation of "Home", This means that you have to change the position of the front idler wheels to compensate for the belt path. The original front idlers posted had a 4mm gap to the front to be able to fit a plexi glass, this has now been renamed and posted a set without the gap. The fanduct i use is this one, it has to be mirrored as well (green axis in cura) to fit the new hotend position. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3367622 You need TWO mgn12h rails at 450mm and ONE at 500mm (that has to be cut to length). I recommend the machifit rails from banggood. https://banggood.app.link/bjFV5ps7y0 For idler rollers i used these, which is the same as the ones that came with my X5SA. https://banggood.app.link/QNHSTEZYD0 Hotend I used is a V6 version. I really like the Mellow quality, but pick Your favourite! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33040074653.html See photos for details on build. Update - 07.12.19 After some testing with direct drive extruder on this machine I've come to the conclusion that this frame is just too flimsy to handle this build as is, there isn't really anything that stiffens the top section. After adding some L shaped corner sections i started to see some good and consistent prints! https://banggood.app.link/cdDbT8wGe2 I will upload the new motor mounts and stationary idlers to fit these L brackets (marked L1) as well as the direct drive BMG mount. Update - 05.01.20 I have uploaded the parts to move Z axis motor and mounts inside the frame. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4029552
