X5S MGN12H Linear X & Y-axis with modular hotend mount

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

Changelog at the end!
My take on a TronXY X5S, rail system. Some inspiration have been taken from others but everything have been redone and drawn up from scratch to fit my vision and "needs".
This kit can be used to redo the CoreXY system on a TronXY X5S (and other of the X5 series with some modifications). Or to build a completely new machine if that's what suits you.
To start of with the X-carrier, it's made without a hotend mount, but has several mounting holes and big venting holes to accommodate good air flow for the hotend / heat break cooler.
The "Chain and rear belt mount" is made to work with the stock dragchain and have a couple cable management holes for those who want that. The back part serves as the belt mount since this system also swaps out two belts with one long so that the need for indevidual belt tensioning is removed.
The system has been designed to be used both with and without a 2020 extrusion on the X-axis, This boils down to that for the X5S who "only" have 488m total of X-axis, i've made some "Y-carrier to X-axis rail mount's" that will eliminate the 2020 extrusion for the X-axis (still plenty stiff!).
Both the Y-carriers and front belt idlers use 5mm dowel pins as axles for the belt idlers with the Y-carriers being designed to make the belt path's totally parallell at all nozzle positions.
Included right of the bat is a mount for an Slice Engineering Mosquito hotend, 40mm hotend cooling fan mount and a BLTouch V3.1.
The X/Y stepper mounts is still being drawn along with extruder mounts that will move the extruders up above the bed and result in 25-30cm long bowden tubes.
Until i've got everything "finished" this will be marked as WIP, although every thing posted have been tested and confirmed working.
Things to be addressed:
1: Making /finishing new X/Y stepper mounts.
2: Front idler mount finishing.
3: Part cooler redesign.
4: Complete parts / BOM list.
5: THC-01 mount with 40mm fan and BLTouch V3.1 mounts.
The stock X/Y stepper mounts WILL work until i get the ones for this kit done btw!
The Mosquito adapter in the pic's is also of my desing and is avalible here:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3910582

Changelog:
30 January 2020:
Further rework on the part cooler(s), with one version for each of the two hotends( Mosquito & THC-01).
29 December 2019:
X-carriage Version 1.2 released with more mounting holes.
Mosquito hotend kit Version 1.2 with a slimmed down BLTouch mount and some other small stuff.BLTouch offsett: X-26.52 & Y-2.02.
THC-01 hotend kit mount with 40mm fan and BLTouch mount released.BLTouch offsett: X-26.27 & Y-2.56.
Reworked partcooler, confirmed printable and working with both the Mosquito and THC-01.
Y-carrier to x-axis rail mounts will be released with two different "lengths" to accomidate a potential difference in width between the two y-axis 2020 extrusions, this is something you just have to either meassure and make up an opinion of what will work best for you. Or just test which of the length's that suit your printer best!
