Compact Prusa i3 Y Idler

pinshape

I needed a Y Idler that would make the most of the space available on the Y-axis. I wanted to print a project that pushed against the absolute edges of the build plate. It functions just as effectively as the i3 rework, but is smaller in size and uses a smaller bearing. To assemble this idler, you'll need: 1 x 4mm bolt 1 x 4mm nut 1 x 5mm bolt 1 x 5mm nut 2 x 5mm washers 1 x 605Z bearing Place the bearing between the two washers and then insert it into the idler. Next, screw the 5mm bolt through and secure it with a nut on the opposite side, using threadlocker to ensure that it stays in place. I'm glad you're enjoying this project.
