Lewihe Play belt grip for X carriage AKA 'Bad boy'

thingiverse

This is an alternate X carriage for a better/easier belt grip. In a coreXY printer, balanced belt tension is essential. I found it difficult to achieve with the factory part, so I designed this to simplify pre-tensioning. You can enhance this design by adding features like cable clamps, LED supports, and belt securing mechanisms. I prefer this part over the factory one; it's a more personalized approach. When I took the picture, I wasn't wearing my glasses and incorrectly installed the right upper belt – it was challenging to push inside. Remember that in a coreXY setup, all belts have their teeth aligned in the same direction on the extruder part. For optimal results, print with an ABS nozzle size of at least 0.4mm and a layer height of 0.2mm. UPDATE (30-MAY-2016): New images have been added. UPDATE (22-MAY-2016): I've improved the internal wormhole to make wire insertion easier for those who experience difficulties. UPDATE (10-MAY-2016): The wormhole dimensions have been increased, and a hole has been added for zip ties. Additional features are still welcome. UPDATE (18-MAY-2016): A new model with inward-conducting fan wires is available. This design doesn't require support and maintains a cleaner layout. It's similar to the previous model but with improved features. I'm planning an update using IGUS drylin RJMP-01-06 LM6UU-type components to reduce noise and improve performance. To enhance durability, I'm printing all X carriage and extruder parts in black ABS, as working with white parts often results in stains. Using nylon thread as a guide for wires or fan cables can be helpful. For better organization, keep wires separate from the PTFE tube by placing the pivot away from the bowden adapter. This setup will make it easier to operate the tube and manage wires separately.
