Funbot Mods

thingiverse

Just a few modified parts for the Funbot I. First is a chimera/cyclops mount with an adapter for an 18mm probe attached securely using screws to fasten to the extruder bracket firmly in place, and then another set of bolts attaching the mount tightly above to create a sturdy platform between it and the x-carriage. We also designed a Bowden-style mounting system easily compatible with E3D hotends that sits snugly alongside other attachments like an off-to-the-side 40mm fan for precise part cooling - this setup's still evolving, though. Lastly, I came up with a brand-new tensioning mechanism yet untested and designed specifically for the x-end which calls for 2 x 8mm bolts secured by 2 x 8mm nuts to tighten. The six-sided portion simply latches onto the existing pulley bolt using one of these parts, requiring your rods be solid to avoid any issues - if not solid then modifications will need to be done, perhaps. Also nearly forgot mentioning, a modified z-carriage to use tr8 leadscrew installed without incident. Edit: added 3/16/2016 - an additional new chimera mount built along with its upper mounting bracket securely fitted which now includes spaces to ziptie wiring neatly. Upper 'bracket' also has other attachment locations like multiple-use mounts for versatile utility; personally using one to display plot prints as well to check bed leveling accurately with dial gauges. I also included an updated left-side bracket space designed for installing auto level sensors directly in it or simply mount other devices desired, pre-spaced exactly 18mm for the IR sensor found in pibot models to match properly.
