Hiprecy LEO - X Axis Linear Rail Conversion

thingiverse

I designed these modifications to convert the LEO X axis into a linear rail system, resulting in a loss of 10mm in build height. Required components: -Linear Rail & Block, 300mm, MGN12H (1 set) -M3 x 8 Screws (12) -M3 x 12 Screws (2) -M3 T-Nuts (4) -Print of 'Linear Rail Bracket' (1) -Print of 'Linear Rail Top Brace' (1) -Print of 'Linear Rail Belt Brace' (1) -Print of 'Linear Rail Alignment Tool' (3) The included photos demonstrate the placement of each part. Assembly guidelines: -I used 4 screws in the rail, evenly spaced. When installing the rail, I employed three alignment tools, one on each end and one in the middle. The tool features a hole in its center to allow an Allen driver access to the screw beneath it. -Installation should proceed as follows: Bracket, Top Brace, Belt Brace. -Installing the belt brace may require some effort; slide the hotend out of the way, then install the belt into the brace and hold it against the aluminum extrusion. Next, slide the hotend back in place before installing the screws. -The two M3x12 screws secure the extruder mounting plate to the printed X bracket. Shorter screws can be used if necessary, but longer ones provide added security. -Be cautious not to pinch any wires during bracket installation. -With this conversion, the path for wires becomes narrower; you may need to retract the wrap to avoid constricting the wires excessively. Update (9/9/20): I have incorporated my optional X belt locks, which work effectively with this modification.
