Rigidbot Core-XY Conversion

thingiverse

My Rigidbot is humongous and its bed-slinging abilities are a major annoyance, so it's time for an upgrade. This upgrade won't be for the faint of heart - it will involve permanently altering your printer's operation. Here's what you'll need to get started: * A way to chop up those X-axis rods. * An M4x.75mm drill and tap combo. * A brain (no, really). * Willingness to struggle through this until I figure out the steps. For now, print one of everything except for the Belt Clasp + Tensioner - you'll need four of those. You'll also need a bunch of M4 and M3 screws - almost all of the M4s can be salvaged from the Rigidbot itself. The upgrade will reuse some parts, but I'll get a Bill of Materials sorted out eventually. I designed this for an E3D V6, but the plate is versatile enough to accommodate whatever you want to do with it in the end. I'll make the mounting points public and let everyone choose their own extrusion method. Right now, the Y-axis doesn't need any cutting down - just the X-axis, which has a max measured distance of 578mm. I'm using these Pulleys for the belts, but feel free to suggest something better: https://amzn.to/2X9AD0D Good luck with this upgrade! Comment or reach out if you have any questions. If I've forgotten anything, let me know.
