HyperCube Evolution X-Carriage Integrated Piezo

thingiverse

Overview ======== This is my brand-new X-Carriage Hot end for my Hypercube Evolution. I'm using a piezo disk in the carriage, just like Pumpal's design https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2801604. However, I didn't like how big the X-Carriage became, so I redesigned it. I'm utilizing the Precision Piezo Piezo20 module and a 27mm disk. https://www.precisionpiezo.co.uk/product-page/copy-of-piezo20-pcb-for-the-piezo20-module-1-piezo My design principles are: - Using Piezo in carriage so no separate piezo in tools - Keeping ability to change tools - As compact as possible - Utilizing standard e3d cables and connectors - One fixed cable from carriage to back. Connectors on carriage. - 10mm carbon rod & Igus bearings For an adjustable dual hot-end mount, see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2990907 Assembly Instructions ================== [WIP] Most parts are connected by 3mm screws and brass inserts. The end stops and the Piezo20 are mounted with 2mm self-tapping screws. Some parts are glued with super glue: - The x-carriage-piezo ring onto the X-Carriage-10mm… there is a 1mm hole in both parts, you can use to align them with a very good soldering iron to insert them… - will assemble the carriage tomorrow. Status ================ view and exploded views are not 100% current but show how it fits together. will update them when i make project final. ToDo ==== - Assemble the carriage (done) - test with carbon rod (done) - test with cut in bearings (done) is much better :-) - test with steel rod - test fan duckt - make fan duct for 10mm Bearing version - make fan duct for Titan direct feed version - make new exploded view - upload final files :-) (partly done) Note: I've removed the date and some of the extraneous information to make it more concise. Let me know if you'd like me to add anything back in!
