Ender 3 Adjustable Z Stepper Mount up to 48mm steppers by Its_3d_Willy

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

A much more solid and adjustable Z stepper mount. It uses the spare screws and T nuts supplied with your printer, and keys into the V groove extrusion. Adjustment is independently in X and Y allowing precise alignment of the lead screw for smooth Z travel.
This mount has been remixed to support up to 48mm high steppers.
A 15mm spacer is provided to so that the stock motor can be used.
A 1mm shim is provided which can be stacked if there is any additional space.
The top portion has had a corner trimmed so that it does not clash with the Z axis plate.
The hole for the Z Axis to pass through has been made larger so that Flexible/"Upgraded" Z axis couplers fit.
Why is this required?
This is part of my Ender 3 Dual Z system! The Z rod needed to be extended to require less additional hardware. It also as a side affect makes it compatible with 42x48mm steppers.
This is part of my Ender 3 single stepper dual Z system. Find all parts here:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4583416 - Dual Z platehttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4581014 - Fully adjustable Z rod mounts / stabilizershttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4582645 - Belt tensioner

The complete upgrade requires:
1x TR8x8 Leadscrew (or 2x TR8x1 or TR8x2 or TR8x4 leadscrews, depending on preference. I use TR8x1 for the highest resolution)

2x 608 bearings
2x Timing belt pulleys (I use 20mm/60 tooth pulleys, any size will work
1x timing belt (From 696mm to ~800mm, I use 752mm)
M3 mounting hardware and T slot nuts.
