<p>CAUTION : THIS THING HAVEN'T BEEN TESTED YET AND SHOULD REQUIRE SOME FIRMWARE ADJUSTMENT (take a look at the link below to have the best chances of succeed)</p> <p>If you try it, please comment your thoughts.</p> <p>Hi, I planed to upgrade my MK3S Bear with linear rail, just like the watterott upgrade for the regular mk3/s but for bear. This is design to keep the z height exactly the same. I create this from the rod holder by pekcitron and the watterott model for "template".</p> <p>Should be printed as it is with support. (integrated supports since V2)</p> <p>Follow the instruction given in the link below to mount it.</p> <p><a href="https://learn.watterott.com/3d-printer/mk3-y-upgrade/assembly/">https://learn.watterott.com/3d-printer/mk3-y-upgrade/assembly/</a></p> <p>Hardware needed:</p> <p>V slot mounting : Same as rod holder by pekcitron</p> <p>Rail and carriage mounting : 10x M3x10mm</p> <p>Rails : 1x 330mm + 2 MGN12C carriage</p> <p>1x 330mm + 1 MGN12C carriage</p> <p>If you want to buy hiwin rail directly, consider buying it here to support watterott: <a href="https://shop.watterott.com/Y-axis-upgrade-kit-for-Prusa-MK3">https://shop.watterott.com/Y-axis-upgrade-kit-for-Prusa-MK3</a></p> <p>I hope you'll enjoy it and if you like it, don't hesitate to throw a tip to support me :D</p> <p>EDIT 27/06/2020 :</p> <p>I added a build helper, it need to be 80.75mm to set the rails at the exact position as the "original" rods and also, bring in a V2 of the support with integrated support to have a better precision.</p> <p>EDIT 15/07/2020 :</p> <p>I changed the design a bit to help keeping printing area, i delete by the same time, the two previous versions.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>MK3S Bear W/ Duet Wifi</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>.2</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>33</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Prusament PETG <p>Jet Black</p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
