Hypercube Evolution LM8UU Prusa MK3 X-Carriage

thingiverse

I'm building a Hypercube Evolution with a Prusa MK52 Heated bed. Trying to use the new Prusa MK3 design that has cables neatly tucked away. I mashed together the Hypercube and Prusa X-Carriages together but had to widen the carriage to get it all to fit. Can't test it until I have built my hypercube though. Get the rest of the parts for the Prusa Github. Remember to select the MK3 in their Github. I will print the end product in black PETG to match the MK3 Extruder. The MK3 Extruder needs to be printed in black because of the sensitivity of the filament sensor. Tested it on the bench: - On my 320mm rods I have 294mm X travel. - Looks like I have to lower the Z by 20mm to clear the extruder stepper in the front Y direction. (Will hit the front of the frame otherwise) You do have to take off the servo's connector to be able to get it through but using a small screwdriver you can unhook the cable connector pins one by one and pull them out of the connector. - Update 19/08/218 Been working on a version with an integrated cable chain. So be careful to download the correct STL files. - Update 20/08/218 Starting to become a remix of the original HyperCube Evolution. So I will probably build the printer and update this thing with all the parts I end up using. - Update 28/08/218 I have split the Y-Carriage with Chain Holder into two separate parts to make it easier to print This is still a work in progress so please pay attention to orientation when slicing the files.
