Converting the Prusa i3 to Utilize Dual X-Carriages on Shared Linear Rods. Step-by-Step Instructions and Files for Implementation: The process involves modifying existing models and files to accommodate two x-carriages per linear rod. The following steps provide a detailed guide: 1. Modify the X-Carriage Design: Enhance or replace the original x-carriage design with a new one that can support dual bearings, allowing for simultaneous movement of both carriages. 2. Update the Stepper Motor Mounts: Adjust or redesign the stepper motor mounts to accommodate the modified x-carriage and ensure proper alignment of the motors. 3. Revise the Linear Rod Design: Modify or replace the linear rods with a new design that can support dual x-carriages while maintaining optimal performance and stability. 4. Update the Endstop Mounting: Adapt the endstops to secure both carriages simultaneously, ensuring accurate and reliable positioning during the printing process.
