c / d bot x carriage for BMG x2

thingiverse

This design is based on my c-bot / d-bot multi-purpose x carriage located at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2762077. I am transitioning over to the Bondtech BMG X2 extruder and the spacing for the stepper mount plate does not align with the original dimensions I created. To utilize this plate, you will need heat-set inserts. These can be obtained from Lulzbot at https://www.lulzbot.com/store/parts/heat-set-insert-tapered-m3-05mm-internal-thread-38mm-l-x20 or McMaster at https://www.mcmaster.com/#94180a331/=1b6shc7. You will also need the following components: 1. 4 x mini-v wheel kits available at http://openbuildspartstore.com/xtreme-mini-v-wheel-kit/(delrin or polycarb) 2. 4 x 6mm spacers located at http://openbuildspartstore.com/aluminum-spacers/ 3. 4 x 6mm eccentric spacers accessible through http://openbuildspartstore.com/eccentric-spacer/ 4. 4 x M5 45mm screws available at http://openbuildspartstore.com/low-profile-screws-m5/ 5. 4 nylock nuts (or regular and thread lock) 6. For each plate, 16 heat-set inserts (see above for link options) Please note that I requested the step files directly from Bondtech. To obtain these files, please contact their customer service team at https://www.bondtech.se/en/customer-service/. I am not permitted to redistribute them. One challenging aspect of this design is that the stepper motors are positioned closer to the back of the extruder. I could have moved the belt catches out of the way or created a wider plate, but I opted for a riser plate instead. This will maintain the necessary spacing and prevent any modifications to my original dimensions. Once everything is installed and functioning properly, I will post photographs of the setup. I had to adjust the eccentric cam's spacing, ensuring that all components are aligned with precise dimensions.
