Tronxy X5s superX bar mod hot end carriage plate

thingiverse

Updated with a file of the gantry plates using some quick measurements. any ideas and improvements welcome. the gantry plate is designed to fit 5mm bolts, the obj file is there for you to change the tolerances. I made this with a free windows 10 program called 3d builder. I had my Tronxy x5s down for repairs a long time ago and thought maybe a future upgrade could be putting the gantry bar on top of the y carriage plates. the belts would be in line with the bar that the extruder carriage plates move on, increasing accuracy. I didn't change the position of the hot end to experiment with finding ways to raise the bed further to add an additional 24.5 mm of build height. the clearance would allow for a offset 3 wheel y carriage that has more room for reinforcement than current designs with the single wheel being on the inside so that you could fit an additional 4 corner brackets on the inside of the frame without the wheels running into them. This is the hot end carriage plate of my idea I haven't tested this yet, but I'm thinking it should work with stock parts. the plate should work at 4 mm thickness (increase it from the 2 mm as it is designed for a metal part.) this is a quick design that I made for testing only. feel free to improve upon it and help me make the y carriage plates I describe in this summary.
