Human: 3030 Printer Upgrade This is one of many solutions to upgrade a printer to full smooth rods and linear rails. I used a Wombot Exillis as the base for this design but it could be extended to any 3030 profile frame. I have included the design files to make it easier to modify the design for your needs. I have laid out the parts in groups of STL files. All holes are designed to be opened up with a drill bit to the correct size. Parts I Used to Modify My Wombot I buy all my fixing hardware by the box so I don't know the quantities of each, so I will just list the sizes: M3 screws: 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm M3 nyloc nuts M3 washers M3 6mm grub screws M6 12mm socket head cap screws M6 drop in nuts to suit 3030 extrusion M6 grub screws: 8mm 3mm self-tappers: 9mm long I used six 500mm hardened rods, cutting them to size and putting flat spots on the ends for the grub screws to lock into. Five LM10LUU bearings were used. Three LM10UU bearings were also used. A GT2 6mm belt was used. Heat shrink and cable ties were used as well. Tools I Used I utilized a metric drill bit set, an M3 tap, a soldering iron, screwdriver, Allen keys, socket set, and side cutters. Enjoy the upgrade! Paul Rev 27 STL is for reference only.
