Added right slide mount for 18mm sensor (Cap / Ind) if you are only using one hotend.
X offset from hotend is +32, Y is 0.
Ver 3.0. Requires M3 expanding inserts for assembly.
Principle design criteria is use of Drylin bearings, left hotend for part production and right hotend for soluble (PVA) support material.
X rod pitch is 45mm, please make sure this is compatible with your other components (this is Pursa spacing).
Print with at least 3 shells for the bearing block as lateral force on this part is high.
Infill should be at least 25% and up to 33% for strong parts.
PETG is best at 0.2 height.

Printed bearing block saves two thirds the x axis weight and greatly assists in bearing alignment for use with Drylin bearings. Fine spacing is done using folded cigarette papers around the bearings.
Ensure your printer is calibrated in all axis as the tolerances are quite fine. If you are out by as little as 3% the bearings will bind if using Drylin, normal bearings are more forgiving.
Extruder mount plate use standard mounting holes, can be used with pillow bearings used on many 3d printer kits.
Any questions message me.
