X Carriage for Prusa Mendel

thingiverse

This was a design I conceptualized for a custom X Carriage that would significantly increase the print area available on the Prusa Mendel. Through experimentation, I discovered that standard X Carriages were often too wide, drastically restricting X travel capabilities. This bespoke unit was slimmed down to its minimum size using LM8U bearings while maintaining remarkable resilience. A Buda Hotend can comfortably fit inside the large hole located at the center of the file, with standard J Heads accommodated in the basic configuration. The design incorporates the Loces Z upgrade X drive style found on this website http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22887 Print Settings Rafts: Are Completely Unnecessary Resolution: .2 Supports: Can Be Omitted Entirely Infill: Is Optimally Set at 50%
