M8 washer (outer diameter 15.9mm / thickness 1.4mm)<br/>M6 threaded rod - length 36cm</p><p>I used M8 washers as opposed to M6 as they spread the load into the PETG parts slightly better. You could use a dab of glue to hold them in place, but this is not necessary.</p><p>Screenshot shows the dimensions of the printed part, the countersunk hole is of depth 1.5mm</p><p>The parts were printed in PETG, using 5 perimeters and 40% grid infill.</p><p>When assembling, be sure to orientate the nut on the end as shown in the picture so that it slots into the slot on the right hand side of the x-end-idler plastic part. To remove the x-end-motor / x-end-idler from the rods, simply align the tool as shown and gently turn the nut nearest the x-end-motor to ease the parts from the rods.</p><p> </p><p><br/><br/> </p>
