Y carriage made of 2020 aluminium extrusion profile
thingiverse
I am in process of building AM8 printer. But I thought that original Y carriage is too flimsy and could be bent by leveling screws. I had some 2020 extrusions left form my other projects and I thought that I could make a carriage from that. So I have designed it in Fusion360 and here it is ;) Metal parts needed: - 2x 2020 Extrusion profile 220mm - 2x 2020 Extrusion profile 149mm - 4x Aluminium Angle Corner Joint 20x20mm (https://www.banggood.com/10pcs-20x20mm-Aluminium-Corner-Joint-Right-Angle-Bracket-Furniture-Fittings-p-1056722.html) - 28x or 36x M5 square nuts - 28x or 36x M5 x 10mm screws - 2x M3 hex nuts - 2x M3 x 12mm screws - 4x LM8UU linear bearings - Heated bed with 209mm between screw holes. (Anet A6/A8 heated bed is 209mm x 209mm) Works great together with "My Y axis belt tensioner for AM8" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3240583)
