We currently use c-shaped aluminum stock because it reduces machining time. The reduced machining time and minimized waste helps but it’s a compromise will most likely change soon as the y-axis linear rail will be reoriented into the a vertical position similar to the RailCore. The SolidCore uses this mechanical arrangement will so it's easier to adapt an E3D Toolchanger.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/teR-FsEpza0"></oembed></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/78174/rich_content/7bf8c99d-842e-44ff-87b8-5e63d99a38d8/solidcore_x-carriage_3d_distributed.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22059ea5a1-c794-48e0-a7e0-27e08cd30d5f%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/2Yw7CbfAkcA"></oembed></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>X-Carriage Parts List&nbsp;</h4><ul><li>2 x Carriages</li><li>2 x MGN12H Rail Clamps</li><li>2 x GT2 Toothed Idlers</li><li>2 x GT2 Smooth Idlers</li><li>4 x M5 x 35mm Long Button Head Cap Screw</li><li>8 x M3 x 6mm Long Button Head Cap Screw</li><li>12 x M5 Steel Washers 1mm Thick</li><li>8 x M5 Nylon Washers</li><li>2 x GT2 Idlers</li><li>4 x 10.5mm Pulley Spacers</li></ul><h4>X-Carriage Idler Pulley Assembly &amp; Installation</h4><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/KqelloCqEQ8"></oembed></figure><h4>X-Carriage Assembly Diagram</h4><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/78174/rich_content/03235d09-486d-46d3-a728-28af3cb3369c/x-carriage-kit-diagram.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%220b0b4f3e-7138-4390-a09a-6fffbd08bbb9%22%2C%22w%22%3A768%2C%22h%22%3A768%7D"></figure><h4>&nbsp;</h4><h4>Y-Carriage / Extruder Carriage</h4><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/78174/rich_content/55ea34ed-11d4-4acb-8b23-997ba59b21aa/hotend-mount-assemble-to-y-carriage-diagram.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%227071edd1-004f-4725-a83c-e795eafb9104%22%2C%22w%22%3A768%2C%22h%22%3A480%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For More Information see <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSe9_8ulqD_IUhFA5gy_R_nwdYpiZImxfiXAR94JBFn0pbFzleQSqJUyfAT6cqYNk_L2_5bJhOqIQ6N/pubhtml">SolidCore BOM</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/KU_nv_WVxoQ"></oembed></figure>
