Tevo Tarantula Y Carriage

prusaprinters

<p>This print takes quite some time and uses a lot of material, but in my opinion it worth it.</p><p>I spent a lot of time trying to fix the annoying wobbling issue using the stock carriage, before printing it.</p><p>Now my carriage is solid as I always wanted.</p><p>This is a remix, so I made a few changes:</p><ul><li>Legs more square and solid for sturdiness.</li><li>More room on the legs to fit large knobs, like these:<ul><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2825145">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2825145</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2609846">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2609846</a></li></ul></li><li>No need for belt brackets. There is a loop embedded on the main body to attach the belt. By doing that, the end stop will hit the main body as it does on the stock carriage.</li></ul><p>To assemble this, besides the hardware already on the stock carriage, you just need:</p><ul><li>4x M3 washers</li><li>4x M3 x 14mm bolts (or a little shorter). Longer than 14mm won't fit.</li></ul><p>Washers and bolts are only to assure the legs will be held firmly in place. Not sure if it's even necessary because everything is very tight, I had to carefully hammer the legs down with a mallet, but I recommend, just in case.</p><p><strong>Check two tests I made after this upgrade and judge by yourself!</strong> <strong>20x20x60 Test Tower</strong> to show the result (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2790496">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2790496</a>) <strong>Also check some mods I made on my printer to achieve this result:</strong> <strong>No Sanding Oldham:</strong> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2581521/files">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2581521/files</a> <strong>X Carriage:</strong> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3999541">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3999541</a></p><p>=====</p><p>If you'd like to support me you can post a make, comment and/or pay me a coffee at <a href="paypal.me/paulorfo">PayPal</a></p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>TEVO</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Tarantula</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>Doesn't Matter</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>0.2</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>100%</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Hatchbox PLA&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I printed in PLA, after sometime I'll update about its performance.<br>UPDATE 03/05/2020: still running this carriage.

You should consider using some thing stronger.</p><p>100% infill to make it as solid as possible.</p><p>You might be able to print it without support, but I chose to use it, just to make sure the print would print out properly from the very first try.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: 3D Printer Parts</p>
