Customizable X-End Upgrade Kit for Prusa i3 / Itopie for trapezoidal lead screws
thingiverse
I'm upgrading the X-Ends for your Prusa I3 or Itopie.\r\n\r\nInitially, I planned to upgrade my Z axis with trapezoidal lead screws, but then I discovered that the new Prusa I3 Mk2 also uses them.\r\n\r\nTaking the x-ends of the new Prusa printer as a starting point, I modified it to make upgrading your printer easy without buying lots of things.\r\n\r\nCheck the attached image for the lead screws settings used on STL files.\r\nWhat's changed here?\r\n\r\n- The x-ends are in opposite positions to comply with the original location.\r\n- Customizable trapezoidal lead screw configuration - check x-end.scad variables.\r\n- Longer rod holes to let you adjust your geometry, even if your rods aren't perfectly aligned.\r\n- Bearing screw holes for M6 size.\r\n- Reversed trapezoidal lead screws attachment can reach 225mm on Itopie with 200mm trapezoidal lead screws.\r\n\r\nEnjoy this upgrade!\r\n\r\nFor Prusa I3 users, check your coupler size - you may need to change it depending on your original z screw size. \r\n\r\nUpdate April 19, 2017: Added missing bearing.scad and polyholes.scad files
