prusaprinters

<p>Brand new version of my old Design:</p><p>https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/48010-squahball-mk3smk3s-vibration-damper</p><p>Many Improvements in this Version:</p><ul><li>Prints Faster: 16% faster than previous version (6h36min vs 7h:55min);</li><li>Uses Less PETG: 18,5% Less!! (66g vs 81g);</li><li><strong>Stronger!!</strong>: due to the print orientation, now its easy to remove and put back in the Printer without breaking!;</li><li>You can remove just the ball holder, Excellent for printer Maintenance!!</li><li>Easier to insert Zip-Tie: Improved path;</li><li>Possibility for future attachments;</li></ul><p>Extras needed:</p><ul><li>4 <strong>(or 6*)</strong> balls, I used the double yellow dot. (absorption is better)</li><li>4 <strong>(or 6*) </strong>zip ties from your MK3S/MK3S+ kit (<strong>Optional*)</strong>.</li><li>Lubrication tube from your MK3S/MK3S+ kit. (IMPORTANT!! without lubrication you will have a hard time with the tight tolerances…)</li></ul><p><strong>*2021/09/20 edit:</strong> I have been using for 4 months now, 2 extra supports and balls very close to the Z axis steppers, due to the extra weight in the back, and it has been even better, less overtime deformation of the balls. So if you want print total 6 instead. Also i stopped using the cable ties, absolutely no need for them :D.</p><h3><strong>Print instructions</strong></h3><p>Printed in Prusament PETG;<br>Prusa 0,2 Quality Profile modified: 3 Perimeters; 5Top/bottom Layers; Ensure vertical shell thickness-OFF.<br><strong>No supports needed!</strong></p><p>I recommend putting the zip ties in the parts before you clip them in the printer.</p><p>Be sure the balls are 100% in, it's designed to keep them in place.</p><p><strong>For assembly use a Tiny bit of the Lubricant Prusa provides between the ball holder and the clip (aka dovetail joint)</strong>, makes insertion and removal easier!</p><p>Keep them as close as possible to the back and front frame respectively, this way there's no chance the zip ties interfere with the linear bearings holders.</p><p>Extras needed:</p><ul><li>4 balls, I used the double yellow dot.</li><li>4 zip ties from your MK3S kit.</li><li>Lubrication tube from your MK3S/MK3S+ kit. (IMPORTANT!! without lubrication you will have a hard time with the tight tolerances…)</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Update 2022: </strong>I´m just Starting a Patreon, if you like the work, take a look and consider becoming one of my Patrons, I have allot more coming soon!!</p><p>https://www.patreon.com/doCarmo</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
