<p>Ok, the thing name is pretty long, but it actually describes what this thing is, so...</p> <p>...here is my adapter to use TR8 1.5mm pitch leadscrews (<a href="https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/TR-Spindeln-8x15">https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/TR-Spindeln-8x15</a>) with the standard IGUS (<a href="https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/Kunststoff-Flanschmutter">https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/Kunststoff-Flanschmutter</a>) nuts instead of the<em>shtty chinese T8 8mm pitch leadscrews with more shtty brass nuts.</em></p> <p>The IGUS nuts are really high quality and don't need any anti-backslash chinese low quality nuts.</p> <p>You need to saw, or better, sand down (with electric sander for your convenience) the IGUS nuts to the form of the template attached in this thing.</p> <p>Furthermore you need:</p> <ul> <li>4x M4 16mm or 18mm or 20mm screws</li> <li>4x M4 nuts (wow!)</li> <li>2x M3 12mm OR 20mm screws</li> <li>2x or 4x M3 nuts (wow²!) to press fit</li> <li>TR8 1.5mm pitch leadscrews which fits your printer</li> <li>IGUS nut like this (<a href="https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/Trapezgewindemutter-RFRM-TR8x15-iglidurZ-R-von-igusZ">https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/Trapezgewindemutter-RFRM-TR8x15-iglidurZ-R-von-igusZ</a>)</li> <li>some dry PTFE lube for the screws for a good feeling, officialy the IGUS iglidur or drylin don't need any lube</li> </ul> <p>ATTENTION:</p> <ul> <li>Recalculate your Z steps, the stepper needs to spin much faster because of the 8mm to 1.5mm pitch "upgrade".</li> <li>Print the stepper relocator!</li> </ul> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>at least 40%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> M4P PLA Grey</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>At least 40% infill WITH a high quality infill in Cura, like cubic or something like this.<br/> I wouldn't go with 100% infill to let the part work a little bit (there is no leadscrew that is 100% straight ;)) </p></div></p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
