Extruder Carriage for Huxley
thingiverse
Experimenting with an x-carriage for Mendel, utilizing successful PTFE bushing placement on my build platform. A PTFE thermal barrier is secured using a M6 nut and grub screw. The design allows for compatibility with Huxley without modifications. Additionally, it complements my x-axis replacement (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4831). Follow my build log at strelly3d.blogspot.com. To assemble, insert a M6 nut into the slot for M6 bolt or grub screw placement, locking the thermal barrier securely in position. A shallow M6 hole on the thermal barrier can also locate the extruder head, potentially saving recalibration efforts during adjustments. Finally, use an M6x15 bolt to self-tap into the carriage side for timing belt attachment. For bushings, acquire 4x10mm PTFE pieces, 16mm in diameter, drilled with a 6mm hole (or US C-sized drill for optimal fit). Secure with glue and a M6 steel rod for accurate alignment.
