Ender 5 Dual Z

thingiverse

Want to rotate the bed? Check out Version 2 of this mod here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4098102 This mod was designed to stabilize the bed. Side-to-side and up/down movement is common with a cantilever bed. Bed supports help, but do not cure the problem. I had some waviness in my walls as well as bed sag with heavy prints until this mod was added. You will need the leg spacers if you plan on using a regular size stepper motor. If you have a pancake like the stock one, the spacers are not needed. The alignment spacer was made to go against my corner bracket to easily align and square the dual z mounts. If you do not have corner brackets, you can either precisely measure the placement of the mounts or create your own alignment spacers. The alignment spacers can be seen to the right of the dual z mounts. I moved my electronics enclosure to free up room at the bottom. The Z carriage might hit your electronics enclosure if not moved. If it does, I think you will only lose about 5-10mm of Z travel but this is not verified. BOM: 2 - 10mm Rods - Check your spacing between your frame and make 1mm or so shorter. Mine were roughly 397mm long. 2 - 10mm long bearings - LM10LUU 1 - T8 Leadscrew - 380mm but can be slightly longer or shorter 1 - T8 Anti backlash nut 1 - 5mm-to-8mm Coupler Stepper motor and cable Misc M3 screws for stepper (will update with exact length later) Misc M5 screws and T nuts for upper and lower mounts (will update with exact length later) Misc M4 screws and nuts for carriage bracket/clamp (will update with exact length later) ------------------------------- *** 8-8-19 *** Added carriage v1.5 to allow the motor to be placed inside the frame. The upper and lower rod mounts are unchanged. Just flip them around to be mounted from the inside. Note that this is not tested by me. If anyone wants to test and report back, that would be great.
