LGX to Linear Rail Mount

prusaprinters

<p>This mount adapts the existing holes on an LGX FF (which has lots of holes in awkward places) and lets me mount it to linear rails. &nbsp;The design allows for the entire extruder/print head combo to be lifted off the rail by undoing two screws. &nbsp;It will fit MGN12H linear rails. &nbsp;</p><p>There's a lot of hardware needed. &nbsp;I used a lot of low socket head cap screws but button heads should work as far as I am aware. &nbsp;I've not tested it so no promises. &nbsp;</p><p>Hardware:</p><p>5x M3 heat set inserts (I used 3D Jake's own brand ones)</p><p>4x M3x8mm button head screws (BH)</p><p>6x M3x8+ countersunk screws</p><p>1x M3x16 low socket cap screw (LSC)</p><p>1x M3x30 LSC</p><p>4x M3x25 socket head cap screws (SHC)</p><p>1x M3x8 SHC</p><p>2x M3x6+ BH</p><p>Where I have a + after the length, this is the minimum length and as long as you have clearance you can go longer. &nbsp;These are just what I have used.</p><p>The Solidworks assembly won't upload so I have substituted it for a step. &nbsp;The rest of my files are there, any parts that are missing are just the generic parts available for download off of Bondtech's website.</p><p>This will likely need a new belt. &nbsp;I purchased around 1.4m of gates belt, you can probably get away with 1.2m but I am not sure of the exact length used as I never originally intended to upload this so did not record the amount used.</p><p>All parts were printed in PET-G on my Voron V0.1 as a prototype. &nbsp;After two months of printing I have yet to see any sag or droop yet. &nbsp;If you intend to use an enclosure then ABS or ASA would be a better option.</p>
