A5-1Z/2Z XL by Bbaxter18

Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

ive included the X endstop and Y endstop files. the X endstop is designed for a bowden style carriage with a small contact point on the lower left hand screw on the carriage itself. you will ned to design this until i can remake my file of one. more or less a 5mm spacer. please use electrical tape to cover the back side of the (all) endstop, shorting one will destroy your arduino mega (ask me how i know). the x endstop is held in place by two of the motor mount screws so the endstop itself sits over one of them, if your pulley sticks out of the gantry you may need to modify and remove material from the edge. the Y endstop is held in place by the screw that holds the Y drive lid. i am still working on a proper z endstop servo apparatus but hopefully one will be up shortly. it may be a remix of the bowden carriage that i am using but generic none the less. any ideas, questions or comments, leave them for me.
Nearly there
So as you can see from the new picture, it is almost there. I will be uploading endstops Brackets for all axis and A Modified Truss to accept the 12864 display and the NEMA 17 For the bowden configuration. I plan on making this an auto leveling machine so expect to see a servo driven Z endstop as well as a standard post mount. The spool mount included with the original design should work really well in this configuration. I will link the couplers i used as well for the 3/8 rod(multiple options with the design). Any questions or feedback, leave a comment or message me.
Another UPDATE
I've split and added the 2Z housing as a male and female puzzle cut, in case you have lost a fair amount of area on your print bed. I have a new belt keeper in the works for use with an opened GT2 belt on the One/Two/Three up X carriage. Keep an eye on my designs, Should be up soon.
UPDATE
I've added files for the Bed X Support(Male/Female) so it can be printed in halves that snap together with a puzzle cut, If either of them warp, it may make them a tighter fit, Sanding may help. If this happens get them as close to flush as you can, then use your stove top and heat water up to about 140~ degrees F. once warm and slightly flexible, move it to a flat surface like glass and hold it flat until it cools.
This will help Solve the upgraded gantry issue. My bed is also trimmed down by another 15mm for the time being do to a makeshift belt tensioner. They fit easily, If i rotate them by 30 degrees in the Z axis. Let me know how it goes.
This is also a makeshift way to get it done. While I suggest super glue or friction welding when you assemble it, i can say that the pieces slip together and mate extremely well. Also like i said, makeshift, If you are completing this mod, Print a single piece one once you have the opportunity.
These parts allow for the Base to be extended By 40mm In the X Axis, and the Bed to be extended by 40mm for use with 330mm rods.
All are printable on the TwoUP, but you may have Trouble printing the BED X SUPPORT if you have an upgraded gantry.
You will still need all of the other files from the original builds (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:844471 , http://www.thingiverse.com/proto-plastik/designs). These should also be compatible with the 2Z edition that he has released(http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1078143).
