Prusa i3 Steel upgrade X-carriage

thingiverse

This is the x-carriage designed for my upgrade set using 10mm steel bars and bushes on my Prusa i3 Steel derivative. Comprised of two parts held together with M3 cap screws, it's made for four by twenty by ten mm Oilite bushes. The X-belt is simply pushed into the gripper - I use a small amount of soapy water to help insert it. I've added holes to let the bushes be oiled; the rear component has two small holes on top and two at the back for this purpose, and I just inject a few drops of oil into these using a syringe. To hold the oil, on mine I wrapped small felt pads around the ten mm rod in the central groove. The three mm holes on the underside of the rear part are for optional three mm rare earth magnets that can be used to hold things like layer fan ducts etc. Other parts I've designed for my printers include: GT2 belt clamp (Prusa Y-axis) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1959901, Arduino Mega and RAMPS v1.4 case http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1937232, Prusa i3 steel 10mm upgrade http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1905409, Prusa i3 Steel Y-axis motor mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1959974, Prusa i3 Steel X-carriage http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1991116, E3D Chimera / Cyclops mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1991117, dual E3D Thermocouple amplifier board - housing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1994413, belt driven Bowden extruder with 1:2.5 reduction http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1090661, enclosure for SevenSwitch FET http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:896676, eight mm Z-axis leadscrew bearing holder http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:922455, Z-axis NEMA 17 adjustable endstop bracket http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:922309, cable chain http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:899607, LCD housing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2334269, PSU cover https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2377049, Chimera & Zesty Nimble drive cable spacer https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2395715, Chimera Zesty Nimble X-axis set for i3 clone https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2407651, dummy NEMA 17 motor to hold the five mm shaft https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2436869, Duet WiFi housing https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2748978, layer fan for the Smart Effector https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2749324, Sannce I21AG mount for three D printers https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2814068, cooling duct for a Noctua forty mm fan on a Duet Smart Effector https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2844881, quiet BerdAir type pump mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2846955, Raspberry Pi case with forty mm fan https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3333609.
