Mini Space Invaders Carriage (Eustathios)

cults3d

This is a redesign of the Space Invaders Carriage for Eustathios printers. The main reason behind this redesign was to make it smaller, thereby increasing usable build volume. Here are some key changes: * A smaller size, with XY travel measuring approximately 290mm² (still less than the original carriage). * Self-aligning bushings have replaced graphite bushings, consuming less space. * A 40mm extruder fan has taken the place of a 30mm fan, resulting in reduced noise levels. * The redesigned carriage no longer accommodates mounting a direct drive Bondtech. Like its predecessor, this version remains convertible between bowden and direct drive configurations using a Printrbot Gear Head extruder. However, instead of switching back and forth, I opted for a flying extruder setup with a short bowden tube (more on that configuration in this post). The hotend is positioned significantly higher than the stock Eustathios build, so the bed may not reach the nozzle with the standard configuration (it should work with ballscrew bed mounts). Parts required: * 2 - 5015 Radial Fans + Link to 24V version; you might need a 12V version depending on your power supply. * 4 - 5x5mm magnets + For mounting the cooling duct. * 2 - 2W 12V LED modules + Wired in series or parallel, depending on your power supply. * 1 - 40mm fan + Choose between 12 or 24V, based on your power supply's specifications. * 6 - Brass M3 Press Fit Inserts * 4 - Self-aligning bushing (8mm or 10mm) * Assorted M3 Screws Printer: -- Eustathios Filaments: -- Atomic Glow in the Dark PETG -- IAP Clear ABS * Affiliate links
