Hypercube Evolution nimble / berd air X carriage light version by warham

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is not designed to use without a sensor. I have no need for those and the extra weight they add. I am printing on 300mm x 300mm bathroom mirror glass from ikea or hardware stores like home depot, lowes.
5.12.18
Added a quick rev 2 i have had sitting here for a while. Its not print tested.
The main point of the rev 2 was to add a threaded location for a quick disconnect and a bowden tube. I am a little confused how the nimble is supposed to work with out one unless the filament is somehow director above the nimble. I dont want to do that so this is my possible fix. a bit busy lately, will get back to this later.
Rev 2 is labeled nimble 4 sold. I also made a slight change for the byrd tube to section to make it easier to print.
7.12.18 added threads for bowden tube holder and some other adjustments. changed berd tube for 1/8th inch tube. going to slip the tube over the 1/16 tube that the berd uses.
Will post more pictures when its assembled.
10.28.18 I have been using it for a while and it works fine. There are a few things that I would have liked to change but its not a big enough deal to reprint it.
I would have maybe moved the screw for the clamps for the byrd to the side.
I would have made a little more access to reach the nimble screw a little easier.
i would have made the nuts for the nimble captive.
I am using this with a volcano but i think it would work on for a regular hotend. I will switch one of these days.
cheers
3.4.19 Modifying current design with goals: Not designed yet
not be quite as tall, lower top about 10cm.
Make Berd air tube a bit easier to install so that exact bending is not required.
Integrate 30mm or possibly 40mm mounting bracket for the hotend heat sink
Move ptfe tube connector mounting location so its not in the way of allen
wrench when trying to remove Nimble mounting screw
Make nimble mounting screw captive to make nimble easier to install
Modify nible drive clamp for newer Larger red drive tube.
(the drive wire is supposedly 0.5mm larger) I am told the drive wire clamp
hole needs to be drilled out to 3.5mm.
not sure why zesty wouldn't sell a
new drive cable clamp)
