Rigid Carriage Y for HyperCube Evolution

thingiverse

The primary objective is to achieve maximum rigidity in the X-axes. The secondary goal is to secure the Y-axis bearings as firmly as possible. Up until now, only one component has been printed to verify its dimensions. This carriage remains uninstalled on any printer. I design a carriage with the following specifications: Y-axe diameter = 10 mm. The cover of the axis Y is fastened using DIN 912 M3x55 screws, totaling four pieces. The Y-axis bearings are mounted at 55 mm (2xLM10UU or 1xLM10LUU). The Y-bearing channel has a diameter of 18.6 mm, requiring subsequent machining. X-axes diameter = 8mm. Mounting the X-axis uses DIN931 M3x16 screws in two pieces and DIN912 M3x12 screws in two pieces. The X-channel diameter is 7.6 mm, necessitating subsequent machining. A smooth rod roller axis with a 5mm diameter is used. The channel diameter for the rollers' axis is 4.6 mm, requiring subsequent machining. The endstop X is angled and attached to the carriage. An STL file for the endstop X has been included in the project, but it would be more effective to interrupt infrared rays by creating it from a piece of aluminum or iron. Similarly, the Y-endstop should be glued onto the carriage Y. I utilize compact endstops on the Y-axis (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3236443), which work well for me, and I intend to continue using them, attaching a flag either to the carriage or bearing cover.
