Tronxy X3 Acrylic Bed Replacement

thingiverse

Determined to make a single rail work and to be budget friendly, this is my replacement for the acrylic print bed base. About $10 in hardware. No more spacers, no more brackets! The bed was so badly warped I had to split the center into three pieces. Printed in abs, I have heated the bed up to 110 and so far so good. You will need: aluminum tube 5/16 x .035 (or solid i guess but overkill) 4 pieces 3.25 inches long 3/16 x 2 inch screws (2) (5 mm will work but may be tight) 3/16 lock nuts (2) printed parts You MUST print the extended thumbwheels! I replaced my bed springs a while ago to 1 inch long with #4 x 1 1/2 inch screws. I cannot find the originals to check but they should still be long enough. The holes for the aluminum came out tight so i carefully reamed them with a 5/16 drill bit.
