HyperCube MGN12 conversion for X and Y axis

thingiverse

After an outstanding year with the HyperCube by Tech2C and numerous kilograms of printed filament, I decided it was time to upgrade the *sloppy* Linear rods and bearings on the X and Y Axis for something more rigid. Of course, I could have invested a substantial amount in replacing them with high-quality rods and bearings or even upgrading to a higher diameter, but that would have been a compromise since they are only supported at both ends and can flex significantly, especially in the middle of the rods during quick movements or at specific frequencies. Therefore, I believe the advantages of Linear Rails like the Hiwin MGN ones for example (or even their Chinese clones) over linear rods are quite obvious. I spent approximately 40€ on: * 2x 250mm MGN12 rails (Y axis) * 1x 300mm MGN12 rail (X axis) * 1x 393mm 2020 Aluminium Profile (X Axis) * 25x M3 Nuts * 25x M3 T-Nuts (For mounting the rails to the aluminum profiles) * 4x M5 T-Nuts (To mount the 2020 X Axis profile to the XY-Carrier) * 25x M3x8mm cylinder head bolts (For mounting the rails to the aluminum profile) * 16x M3x10mm cylinder head bolts (E3D-Mount & MGN-Blocks) * 6x M3x12mm countersunk bolt (For the beltclamps) * 4x M5x10mm button head bolts (To mount the X Axis Profile to the XY-Carrier) Everything else can be sourced from your original HyperCube. If there is something missing, please leave a message so I can add the missing parts to the list. Print everything once except for the BeltIdlers and the BeltClamps; we will need two of them. The printing direction should already be correct as seen here on Thingiverse. Feel free to leave a question or suggestions in the comment section!
