Kossel Spring Clips for 5mm Rods

cults3d

Clips are available to attach a spring between 5mm diameter carbon push rods on Kossel printers. These clips help take up play in rod end bearings, making the printer run quieter. They were designed for the Anycubic Kossel Linear but would work with others using 5mm rods. If rods are approximately 50mm apart, holes for springs should be about 35mm apart. Springs used were roughly 25mm long when relaxed and came from this set: Rolson 61298 Spring Assortment - 150 Pieces. A longer version of the clip is available that extends its length by 5mm to suit wider rod spacing. Update: A revised version 2 has been added with a clip rotated for more load bearing surface directly opposite to the spring, reducing the likelihood of it popping off. The edges are also slightly rounded for aesthetic purposes.
