Scalar Upgrade - Compact Y Axis

thingiverse

This is an Upgrade for Scalar 3D printer. This is an upgrade for Scalar M and Scalar XL 3D printers. Description The current Y-axis motor mount can sometimes touch the heatbed when moving. To prevent this, we created a compact version of the Y Axis motor mount. As you can see in the pictures, the motor is closer to the aluminum extrusion. Also, the M3x8 screws are easier to insert in this model. In order for you to compare the difference, we uploaded a picture with two parts: - White: Old model. As you can see here it's about 2 or 3mm from the bed bottom. - Grey: The compact version, the motor is closer to the extrusion, and there is more space left from the bottom of the bed. In order for the belt to stay parallel to the bed, we also made a compact version of the idler holder. Both parts are 9mm smaller. Again, for the belt to stay parallel to the bed, we had to increase by 9mm the size of the belt holder. All parts have the same screw position. Updates: 2016.02.26 - Add motor_holder_short_V2.1, motor holder that can be used on both directions. You can place the motor either toward the right or left side of the printer and improve motor lead wires length What to print: Print each part once, and replace the existing ones with these. Final Word Have a great printing experience. 3D Modular Systems Evolutive 3D Printers You enjoy it and want to help us with a donation: https://www.paypal.me/3DMS http://www.3dmodularsystems.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/3dmodularsystem Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/c/3DModularSystems3DPrinters
