S.T.E.V.E. X carriage end to suit Hypercube by Phil_Maddox

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I liked the idea of using a direct drive extruder on my hypercube but unfortunately, the 2 x 10mm X axis rods are too close together to allow this on the Tech2C Hypercube. Seeing that the S.T.E.V.E core XY design allowed this I wanted to use the x ends from that design but the X&Y stepper motors have a different layout ( position height) So I have adapted the X ends to suit the hypercube by mirroring them and adapting to the 10mm OD X rods
To allow this mod you need to lower the following positions by 2mm on the frame
both X&Y motor mounts
all 4 Y rod mounts
2 rear belt pulley brackets
I've included a Y rail bearing cap as I prefer this over the 2 piece clamps used in the S.T.E.V.E. design
Update 14/3/2018 .... Revised model slightly and included a 15 mm ( LM8UU) and a 16mm (IGUS) versions
