Ender & CR-10 X Axis Cover and Nema 17 Stepper Damper Spacer

cults3d

The Problem: I wanted to minimize the noise from my steppers during nighttime prints without buying dampers, so I tried printing in TPE instead. The hardware required for the x-axis spacer is hard to come by and needs to be 3mm longer than stock to work with the stock x-axis cover and end-stop mount. The Solution: This x-axis cover pushes the hardware deeper into the unit, giving you space for the included flexible spacer that acts as a vibration damper between the metal mount and your stepper motor. How-to: • Remove the 4 bolts holding on your existing x-axis cover to your stepper motor. • Remove the 2 screws holding in the end-stop into the cover. • Use the 2 screws to mount the end-stop into your new cover, going slow as you'll be threading the screws into plastic and creating threads. • Undo the 2 grub screws on the cog of the stepper motor and slide the cog on its shaft 3mm away from the stepper. Tighten the 2 grub screws. • Place the flexible spacer between the stepper motor and the metal mounting bracket. • Use the 4 stock mounting bolts to mount the new x-axis cover to the stepper motor.
