JR-e3dv6-Xcarriage

thingiverse

HI Everyone, This is my first post so please bear with me. I wanted to add a quick note: I want to say thanks to Jubaleth for the original designs, for posting and providing access to the Onshape originals. I didn't have the printer experience to create this from scratch, so this design is made possible by Him and I just added to it. As mentioned, the design is largely based on Jubaleth's original design for the X-Carriage. Two of the main changes are that I removed the Z sensor mount. I use the standard rear mount bed Z sensor and the second change is that I redesigned the nozzle fan shroud. I also added a second part which was a 40mm fan shroud with integrated E3Dv6 lock for the E3Dv6 heat sink and vents the exhaust to the rear. By all means, please let me know if you have any comments. The fan shroud is a little tricky to get the angle on the bed to print without too many supports (as mentioned below). I have also designed the rear Y-belt bracket and Z sensor mount which I will list as separate projects as they are independent of the X-Carriage and can be used separately. You will also notice four holes in the top of the 40mm fan shroud, these are for a Y-belt bracket I designed and am printing now to test and will post all the Y-chain pieces in a separate project. Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 / M505 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .1 Infill: 15% Notes: I printed this high-quality (.1) but see no reasons why it wouldn't work at medium quality. Main Carriage: Material: PLA Bed temp: 65C Hot End: 210C I have used 15 - 30% infill and found 15% strong enough. No supports (print on its back). For the Fan: Printed with supports (from build platform only). You will have to rotate the drawing until it is lying on its back at approximately 3.23 degrees so that it is lying as flat as possible fan outlet facing up. Post-Printing Assembly Some of the holes for the threaded parts can be a bit tight but all work with a little force to get the bolt thread started. I did have to get slightly longer 8m screws to screw the X-Carriage base to the bearing houses, but this was because several of my threads in the bearings were poorly done by the manufacturer and stripped out on first install. The rest of the install used screws that came with the kit. I would expect your original screws to work fine if your bearing threads are in good shape. Other than the above, a little trimming and a slight counter-sinking of the holes to be threaded to help the screws start is all that needs to be done. I just used a Phillips screwdriver to do the counter-sinking. How I Designed This I created this using Onshape.com (fantastic online CAD design application). Below is the link to the project, as mentioned above, this design is largely based on Jubaleth's design which includes different sensor mounts and nozzle fan.
