X-Carriage EVO

thingiverse

This is X-Carriage EVO, a X-carriage I designed for my FLSUN i3 to fulfill all the demands I had for it. It features a direct drive extruder, a mount for a SN08-n inductive sensor, a 5015 blower style fan, and a integrated belt tightener. It was heavily inspired by [lembasbrot's 3-wheel X carriage](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2521909). BOM: - The printed parts. - 5015 blower fan - 40mm fan - E3DV6 - two M4x25 screws - two longer M4 screws - two square nuts - Different kinds of M3 hardware(most of it came with the FLSUN i3) - 10 to 12 Ø5x5mm M3 brass inserts (those are really cheap on websites like Aliexpress) - 3 2020 wheels - 608 bearing - Stock FLSUN Ø8mm drive gear - Stock FLSUN endstop microswitch - NEMA17 stepper motor - extruder spring - a piece of teflon tube Insert the teflon tube from the top into the hot end, and cut it off with a knife or scissors at the motor gear. Insert the brass inserts with a soldering iron into the printed parts. be careful you don't set it too hot, as PLA melts easily.
