Y-Carriage_for_20x20_X-Rail

thingiverse

Also called Y-Guide and Hbar_End. These remixes of "3-wheeled Y guide (Re-D-Bot)", www.thingiverse.com/thing:1930200, by NickRimmer are designed for use with a 20x20 V-Slot X-rail like my own "X-Carriage, Linear, Modular, 20x20 V-Slot", www.thingiverse.com/thing:3350550. For compatibility reasons I have copied NickRimmer's version for the major part so one can swap them without extra parts needed. This goes for Y-Carriage-right_for_20x20_X-Rail.stl and Y-Carriage-left_for_20x20_X-Rail.stl but also for other versions: Y-Carriage-right_for_20x20_X-Rail_and_Idlers.stl and Y-Carriage-left_for_20x20_X-Rail_and_Idlers.stl You can use NickRimmer's Y-Carriage-3-Wheels-2_x2.stl (green in images) but also my remix Y-Carriage-2, a couple of mm thicker at the bottom because the former one didn't survive all my experimenting and cracked there, and with ø3mm holes at the top which you can make ø5mm if you want to use M5 bolts at the top too. The latter ones can also be used with GT2 idler pulleys 20 without teeth, ø3mm bore belt width 6mm (20T W6 B3 in short), and for purists "with teeth" at the back. Edit (21 aug 19): those "teeth", I don't know. As I found out, experimenting with my Bed Hoist, those teeth don't always do much good. It's perfectly logical to use them here but there it was a bad solution in one place so I replaced the teethed idlers here too with smooth ones. If you want to know what I am talking about, see the Notes in https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3732450/files. The original F623ZZ 3x10x4mm flanged ball bearings can be used with both versions. Uses: - With 3 wheels like NickRimmer's design then you'll have to drill the 2 upper ø3mm holes into ø5mm holes. - With MGN9 rails + MGN9H sliders like my "3-wheeled Y guide goes linear", www.thingiverse.com/thing:2701748.
