Anycubic mega i3 V-slot aluminum extrusion upgrade to mega X

prusaprinters

<p>11.28.21 Finally finished it, just need to update the firmware for the larger bed size. The leadscrews have a belt to sync them together, and it's only running one Z axis stepper motor. 24V for the heated bed, while the rest of the printer is 12v. The Y axis is from a CR10. The X axis is just a 2020 v-slot aluminum extrusion profile.</p> <p>//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//</p> <p>Mega i3 aluminum extrusion conversion mounts for the X and Y axis, similar to a Mega X.</p> <p>I wanted to add a 300x300mm bed to the existing mega i3 frame without too much modding. I like the V-slot aluminum design for easy customization. The X axis is pretty stable as well on the Z smooth rods.</p> <p>Note the entire print area is moved forward quite a bit, which covers up the touchscreen. Also, drilling into the sheet metal is involved for the Y axis.</p> <p>Mount screws are M5 and need sliding M5 nuts for the aluminum extrusion.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Anycubic</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>All-metal Mega</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.16-.20mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>10% Triangle with twice the infill flowrate</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> any any <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I'll add more designs once I get those installed.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
