Chimera Zesty Nimble X-carriage for Prusa i3 clone

thingiverse

Having rebuilt my Prusa i3 Steel clone to use 10mm X-rods, I designed this to use dual Zesty Nimbles on an E3D Chimera / Cyclops. It is designed to work with the X-carriage ends and other parts from that unit. It is a full set of printed parts requiring several bushes, bolts, nuts, magnets, shafts etc. The main components include: - A two-part X-carriage accepting 4x Oilite bushes (10mm ID, 14mm OD, 10mm long). Eight M3 x 18 cap screws and 8x M3 nuts are needed. - An auto-level mount designed for a David Crocker IR auto-level board attached to the main carriage with an M2 x 20 machine screw and nut. - A layer fan duct held in place by 5 rare earth magnets (5 in the duct, 5 in the carriage). - A mount for the two Zesty Nimbles and the Chimera / Cyclops. This has some M2.5 captive nuts inside. - An optional filament monitor designed to use 24 magnet discs. These printed discs use 24 1mm diameter x 2mm long rare earth magnets inserted alternately N-S-N. The duct, carriage and main mount were printed in ABS, other parts in PLA. If there is interest, I will document and publish details of the filament monitor. Please message me if so. Other designed parts for my printers include: - A GT2 belt clamp (Prusa Y-axis) - An Arduino Mega and RAMPS v1.4 case - A Prusa i3 steel 10mm upgrade - A Prusa i3 Steel Y-axis motor mount - A Prusa i3 Steel X-carriage - An E3D Chimera / Cyclops mount - A dual E3D Thermocouple amplifier board - housing - A belt driven Bowden extruder with 1:2.5 reduction - An enclosure for SevenSwitch FET - An 8mm Z-axis leadscrew bearing holder - A Z-axis NEMA 17 adjustable endstop bracket - A cable chain - An LCD housing - A PSU cover - A Chimera & Zesty Nimble drive cable spacer - A Chimera Zesty Nimble X-axis set for i3 clone - A dummy NEMA 17 motor to hold the 5mm shaft - A Duet WiFi housing - A layer fan for the Smart Effector - A Sannce I21AG mount for 3D printers - A cooling duct for a Noctua 40mm fan on a Duet Smart Effector - A quiet BerdAir type pump mount - A Raspberry Pi case with 40mm fan This item is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, available at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/.
