Modified HyperCube X Carriage Set for LM8UU

thingiverse

Update 2: v2 file finally uploaded! Update: v2 has been released, and after printing it, I discovered a major issue when mounting the endstop using a 10mm standoff - it didn't fit. To solve this problem, I reduced the size of the carriage part that holds the endstops, cleaned up the design a bit, and Prusa Slicer no longer displays any errors. Despite these improvements, I still advise against printing this version until I can confirm its functionality. I'm repurposing the original 8mm rods from my printer conversion to a HyperCube by using this carriage. This design has several advantages: it utilizes 8mm linear ball bearings, which perfectly suits my needs, and retains the same mounting holes as the original x-carriage and hotend mount, ensuring compatibility with components like the Tech2C CNC Toolheads. However, I encountered one major issue - the endstop placement doesn't fit a PCB endstop like the original Tech2C mounts. To resolve this problem, I created a revised design in Tinkercad by disconnecting the endstop mount from the original part and linking it to the 8mm carriage. This new version may cause mesh errors in Prusa Slicer and might not fit correctly. Therefore, I'm posting this update as a reminder to keep this post up-to-date with newer revisions and images that demonstrate its functionality.
