This is a set of instructions for printing and assembling a custom X carriage for an E3D Titan Extruder. The instructions include printing and assembly steps, as well as optional parts for using a chain system. Here's a breakdown of the instructions: **Printing Instructions** * Print all parts without supports except for Bracket.stl and Chain_Motor.stl. * Print all parts exactly as already oriented to maximize quality, strength, and ease of printing. * Use 40% infill for all parts except for Carriage.stl. You may print this part lower, such as 20%. * Print all parts at 0.2mm layer height. **Assembly Instructions** 1. Print all required parts. Don't forget to print a 3rd party X belt holder. 2. Remove the stock carriage or whatever you have mounted on there. 3. Install the Carriage.stl onto the bearing blocks. Use 11x M4x8 screws from the stock printer if you are installing just the carriage without the chain, or use 8x M4x8 screws to screw in the carriage and place the Chain_Carriage.stl on top. 4. Connect the Carriage.stl with the X belt holder on the back. You can use stock screws for this. 5. Install 2x M3 nuts into the Bracket.stl. Use a single screw to force the nuts into their holes. 6. Use Bracket.stl to mount and install the Titan Extruder along with the v6 hotend and a motor. Follow the official guide for this. 7. Mount the Fan.stl on the Bracket.stl using 2x M3x10 screws. 8. Mount the blower fan. **Extra Instructions For Chain** 9. Mount the Chain_Motor.stl onto the X motor assembly. Use three screws already there to mount it. 10. Assemble the whole chain. Sand all of the links (both short and long) thoroughly. The chain should be assembled as follows: Motor -> 2x Long Links -> 18x Short Links -> Carriage. 11. Place cables into the chain. Make sure that the cables have space to breathe, otherwise the chain may damage your cables. 12. Insert the clamps into the links. Use 2 longer and 1 shorter clamp per 1 longer link, and 1 shorter clamp per 1 shorter link. 13. Secure the cables on both the extruder side and the motor side with a ziptie. The instructions also include some additional notes and tips for printing and assembling the carriage. Overall, these instructions provide a detailed guide for printing and assembling a custom X carriage for an E3D Titan Extruder.
