RepRap X-carriage for Igus bushings

thingiverse

To avoid breaking the grippers on the Prusa Igus-bushing-compatible X-carriage, I enhanced the bushing holders by turning them into simple press-fit hole designs suitable for Igus bushings available at techpaladin.com. This modification ensures a more secure fit and prevents breakage. If needed, you can ream the holes to accommodate larger bushings. You can obtain the belt clamps from github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel/tree/master/metric-prusa. I've uploaded modified .scad files for these parts, which may have additional dependencies that you can find on Josef Prusa's GitHub at https://github.com/prusajr/PrusaMendel/tree/master/source. If using Igus bushings, you might be interested in my Y-carriage bushing holders (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14593) and X-ends (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14494). In the update 01/15/11, I changed the extruder mounting holes to fit M4 screws.
