prusaprinters

This a Z-Axis Cable Chain for the 1/2" U.S. Piper 2 CoreXY Printer. Parts are designed to insert into EMT tube of left rear gantry when looking at the front of the printer. Mirror z-chain-frame.stl in your slicer for right hand side. Print the following quantities: (1) z-chain-frame.stl (2) half-inch_emt_insert_2mm-rev3.stl (1) z-chain-gantry2.stl (1) half-in_emt_mount2.stl (?) cable_chain_link.stl (?) cable_chain_clip.stl Purchase Parts: (2) 6-32 x 2" screws with nuts (2) 6-32 x 1/2" screws with nuts (2) no.6 washers Assembly: Insert a nut into each half-inch_emt_insert_2mm-rev3.stl Side a washer over each screw hole of the z-chain-frame.stl Insert a 6-32 x 2" screw through the washer and z-chain-frame.stl part screw on half-inch_emt_insert_2mm-rev3.stl onto each 6-32 x 2" screw Insert assembly into the two open EMT tubes at the left rear gantry corner Assemble as many cable_chain_link.stl as needed to form a chain. A 400mm high system uses about 22 for each side Assemble cable chain to mounted z-chain-frame.stl assembly. Assemble to z-chain-gantry2.stl to other end of cable chain Mount z-chain-gantry2.stl to end back frame Z-EMT pipe with half-in_emt_mount2.stl and two 6-32 x 1/2" screws and nuts at about half way up the pipe. Note: this will be mounted on a slight angle since the z-chain-frame.stl assembly is not parallel to the frame of the Piper 2. Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 to 0.3mm Infill: 25% to 35% Cubic Filament: Zyltech PLA and PETG Black Notes: This is designed for a Piper 2 version 2 U.S., however it may work on the Piper 2 version 1 U.S. If you want to use a 20mm OD U.K. Piper 2, I can easily make new emt\_insert parts, just leave a comment with a nominal I.D. dimension.
