DIY Prusa i3 x-end-idler and -motor for anit-backlash T8 brass nut

thingiverse

Here are the modifications to Prusa's original MK2s x-end-idler and x-end-motor carriage mounts to fit the T8 Anti-backlash Brass Nut. I made a conscious effort to keep the number of file changes to an absolute minimum, which is why only the two Scad files, x-end-idler and x-end-motor, were modified. To make this work, you will need to hacksaw 2 of the 4 mounting holes on the brass nut to convert them into open slots. The opening in the x-end carriage for the brass nut is a 12mm diameter to accommodate both the anti-backlash spring and the brass nut itself. I took into consideration the center-to-center distance of 17mm between z-rods and z-screw when designing these modifications. Fortunately, this worked perfectly for me with zero slop. I'm confident that it will also work well for you!
