3-wheeled Z guide (Re-D-Bot)

pinshape

Summary Hi all! This is my three-wheeled mount for the Z-axis. By using a three-wheeled design, you can save one wheel instead of using the original four-wheel setup. Additionally, calibrating this version is much easier. In the files, you'll find two versions. The first version consists of two parts: Z_Wheel3_Guide-Part1 and Z_Wheel3Guide-Part2, where Part 2 can be used with a tensioner or an eccentric. The second version, labeled as Z_Wheel3_Guidev2, is stronger and preferred by me. I recommend using this version; however, it only comes with a tensioner. The tensioner is very useful and easy to work with. P.S.: On Re-D-Bot and D-Bot analogs, Micro V Wheels are used. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Re-D-Bot Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 100% Post-Printing For the tensioner, you will need one M5*15 (or a suitable length) and one M5 nut. 01.14.17 Update The design has been updated with an extra 1 mm on the outside for easier assembly. The updated files are: Z_Wheel3_Guide_v2-With_tensioner.STL Support me If you want to support me and receive cashbacks on Aliexpress, check this out: http://epngo.bz/cashback_index/v1nphb I really like their service; on Aliexpress, you can get double cashback (about 18%).
