Metal Carriage belt-clamp
youmagine
I've purchased a metal carriage from reprapworld (http://reprapworld.com/?products_details&products_id=599&cPath=1616_1668). It's really eye-catching! Since it's still in version 1.0 and originally designed with mendelmax in mind, I've encountered some issues with the belt mounting. The parts available on the webshop (aluminium clamps) can only be used if the carriage is horizontal, instead of vertical (as is the i3 design). I couldn't find any off-the-shelf solutions for the belt mounting. So here's a simple creation that should work. It hasn't been tested yet! Created for a t2.5 belt, uses 2 M3 bolts, mounting point separation 50mm. Note: The metal carriage has an x-axis separation of 50mm. If you order one of these carriages for a Prusa I3, you're likely to need new x-ends! Print those before tearing your printer apart. Update: uploaded proper orientation. The cold end is claiming some screw-holes. So it's meant to be used for the upper part of the belt. Designed upside down for reasons. Solidworks part added for tinkerers. Not fully defined because I hate figuring out what relation is messing with my tinkering..
