K8200 Z-Axis cable driven stabilizer / parallel drive

thingiverse

I made a stronger version of my original application so it meets my needs now. I have also included some pictures that show how I set up my printer. In these pictures, you can see the tentioner I'm using doesn't interfere with the pulleys and gives me plenty of room to get my 218mm Zmax, even after adding some extra space. Print Settings Rafts: Not a requirement for me. Supports: Not needed in this setup. Resolution: 0.6mm layers work fine. Infill: I print with 100% infill to ensure solid prints. Notes: I use a 0.8mm nozzle and 0.6mm layer height, and fill all of my objects at 100%. Instructions Check the original post for more advanced instructions and other parts you need to print. Further Improvement The pulleys could be improved further still. The big one seems strong enough but it has already failed on me once, and now I think it would be best if we replaced them with metal ones. Alternatively, maybe we could find a way to repair the existing printed pulleys so they can handle higher tensions.
