Hypercube Evolution Linear Rail Upgrade Remix

prusaprinters

<p>This remix is based off the Hypercube Evolution XY Linear Rail Conversion by Jmack82497. My goals in this remix are to use optical sensors that the stock Hypercube Evo uses, so I had to design some parts. I also wanted some strain relief, the original conversion was relying on some other parts (Hemera Backpack) that I didn't want to use.</p> <p>I used all the parts from Jmack's conversion except for the hevo_y_axis_carriage mount which I slightly modified (more info below).</p> <p>See the pictures for details, but here are brief descriptions:</p> <p>modified-hevo_y_Axis_carriage_mount.stl - this is a remix of the Jmack part. I added a bottom layer so the rail could rest instead of free floating. This should add a little more stability so you aren't relying on just the screw to keep the rail in place.</p> <p>x_flag - this flag is used to trigger the X optical endstop. Use an m3 screw and a lock not to secure it in place.</p> <p>x_flag_mount - this is the part the x_flag is mounted to.The bottom of this part mounts to an m3 hole in the rail. You'll need an m3 screw and a lock nut to secure it. Adjust the distance of your flag as needed.</p> <p>x_optical_sensor_holder - this holds the optical sensor. I hot glued in the top left of the hot end mount. Make sure you line it up with the X_flag.</p> <p>y_flag - this flag triggers the y end stop. I used the original hypercube evolution end stop. I hot glued the y_flag on top of the far left mount (see pictures) and made sure it lined up.</p> <p>strain_relief - this screws into the top right carriage. It provides strain relief and spots for 2 zip ties.</p> <p>All parts can be printed in PLA or PETG with no supports.</p> <p>Why hot glue for a few parts? It would have taken a lot more time to mount the y flag and especially the optical endstop holder (since there is no good spot on the mount to connect it to) and I didn't feel like spending the time. I think they will hold up just fine with hot glue and you really can't even tell- you just need a very thin layer. If I have problems I'll make a more robust part that mounts with screws.</p> <p>Hope you find this useful!</p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
