Maxmix M3 Hex Socket Cap Screw mod

prusaprinters

<p>edit: I just added the R99 version of the mod. I DIDN'T PRINT THIS ONE YET BUT IT SHOULD WORK (someone already printed it and had no problems!) . Just pick the file named R99 that fits your Nano port and encoder holes. The Top is universal. (so you need two files for this mod, TOP + Bottom of your choice). Rest of the parts to 3D print are on the official Maxmix page here on prusaprinters.</p><p>This is the 0.9.5 version remix of the Maxmix. Once I have time I will update it to the latest version.</p><p>The Maxmix with <a href="https://www.banggood.com/Suleve-M3SS2-M3-442Pcs-Stainless-Steel-Allen-Bolt-Nut-Hex-Socket-Cap-Screw-Assortment-Kit-p-1076216.html">M3 bolts</a><br>If you are going to build this, you don't need the M2 10mm Countersink screws from the original build at all.<br>Additionally you need to buy:</p><p>4x M3x20 Socket Cap Bolts<br>4x M3 nut<br>for easier installation of the M3 nuts, get one M3x25 (or longer) screw.</p><p>I needed to make some changes to make it work. The rotary encoder mount is taller, and a bit moved from the original design to fit the <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000001872933.html">rotary encoder</a> I received (check the photos to see the differences)</p><p>I also uploaded different versions, one with USB-C and one with the Mini-USB, both of those with either original encoder mount, or the modified by me, so you can choose the one that fits your encoder.</p><p>Also the light ring bracket pins were too wide apart and were too big to fit the LED rings I received. So I modified it a bit.</p><p>All the other parts can be found on the <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/cs/prints/31336-maxmix">original project</a></p><p>tip: If you want to have the light shining from the bottom like I do, be sure to print the bottom part in translucent material.</p><p>also I put the silicone feet next to the holes so the glue has better contact with the body.</p><p>If you want to edit the files yourself, I uploaded the f3d file, but it's really a big mess, because I am not very good with Fusion 360, the original creator had such a tidy f3d file, but when I modded it, it is a bit of a mess. sorry.</p><p>Big thanks to the T3knoManzer for an amazing project! I love the idea and really love how much time he spends making it better with all the updates to the software!</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer:</strong> i3 MK3</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong> smaller the better</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20%</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusament PLA Galaxy Black</p>
