Modular Y Carriage V2

thingiverse

The latest version of Modular Y Carriage boasts several improvements, with its design and screw holes now mirroring the PCB dimension specs found on the Reprap website. The corners are perfectly symmetrical, requiring only one type to be printed multiple times. To accommodate different printer bed sizes, various beam lengths have been included: 200 x 200, 300 x 200, and 300 x 300. A unique feature of this design is the nut trap hole in the corners, allowing users to adjust the bed with just one hand without any additional add-ons. The adapter screw holes are specifically designed for use with the Y belt holder found in the BOM section below. For a more detailed look at this version's improvements, check out the V3 on Thingiverse. Important Notice: This carriage requires printers that are properly tuned for precision to function optimally. Any wobble or loose ends can lead to printout defects later on. It is recommended to test the beam file with an M3 screw, ensuring a slight resistance when inserting into the hole but not so tight that it needs to be forced through. Print Settings: Printer Brand - RepRap, Printer - Prusa, Rafts - No, Resolution - 0.2, Infill - 30%, Notes - Enable supports for "Diagonal 300 x 200.stl" due to the diagonal beam's requirement for printing sideways. Material Recommendations: ABS or similar materials that can withstand temperatures up to 120°C are ideal for this print job.
