<p>DEPRECATED DESIGN</p> <p>Please be aware I am not developing this design any further.</p> <hr/> <p>Sick of not being able to see the nozzle on your E5+? these two brackets I modelled (to fit in with my tensioners) drop the front extrusion bar down 40mm so when homing you can easily see the nozzle when the bed is raised to Z0.</p> <p>New brackets do not interfere with current frame on either side and actually gives you more space for a larger print head with cooling ducts or fans.</p> <p>Install by..</p> <p>Removing the internal angle brackets, giving you 4x M5 BH bolts, 2x will be used again with T nuts. Photo shows BH bolts from underneath.</p> <p>Removing the front belt tensioners from either side, giving you 2x M5 HH bolts, these to be used again in same place through new bracket.</p> <p>Removing the top front cross member.</p> <p>Install the top front cross member approx 40mm down from where it had been, rolling it over 90° so that the through hole can be used with an existing M5 BH bolt with washer from croner brackets adding T nut into the front vertical extrusion. Photo shows existing BH bolt from underneath.</p> <p>Install new printed brackets with 2x M5 HH bolts with T nuts on, screwing back in the existing M5 bolt (leaving slack) into the top of the existing exposed vertical extrusion. Install all other bolts (leaving slack) with T nuts.</p> <p>Evenly tighten all bolts a little at a time. Do a final pinch/torque, but do not over tighten.</p> <p>BOM</p> <p>2x Brackets. PLA+ 0.2 layers, 5x Walls, 3x bottoms, 4x tops, 40-50% Infill.</p> <p>10-12x M5 T nuts</p> <p>6x M5 x 10mm HH bolts</p> <p>2x M5 x 20mm HH bolts</p> <p>2x Existing M5 HH bolts with washer.</p> <p>2x Existing M5 BH bolts with washer.</p> <p>Works for me.</p> Category: 3D Printing
