Tronxy X5S printed top frame extension

thingiverse

A while ago I wanted to mount my 6 extruders bit differently on the frame, to maybe reduce the bowden tube lengths. For this I designed an extension to the frame using the extensible parts from Dollo3D printer. The printed parts are more than adequate for this task and allow for customization of the extra frame size. About Dollo: https://github.com/spegelius/Dollo Mounting stuff to the Dollo extension beams is up to you. There are some example extruder mounts here: https://github.com/spegelius/Dollo/blob/master/NEW_long_ties/adapters.scad. Parts are mounted with bow ties: https://github.com/spegelius/Dollo/blob/master/NEW_long_ties/STL/long_bow_tie_split.stl BOM: - 4x Top_frame_frame_mount.stl - 2x Top_frame_extention_t_part_front.stl - 2x Top_frame_extention_t_part_back.stl - 2x Top_frame_middle_extention_230.stl OR 4x Top_frame_middle_extention_115.stl BOM (from https://github.com/spegelius/Dollo/tree/master/NEW_long_ties/STL) - 4x corner_90_70_extra_stiff.stl - very many bow_tie_with_brim.stl - not quite as many long_tie_split.stl - some long_bow_tie_split.stl, depends of what you are mounting to the frame Optional: - 4x extention_x.stl (for extra height, see the Dollo github) The extention parts have a ~9mm hole through; use 8mm threaded rods and M8 nuts (nylock on other end) to get extra rigidity. The OpenSCAD source for the frame can be found here: https://github.com/spegelius/3DModels/blob/master/PrinterParts/Tronxy/Top_frame.scad
