Orballo Steel X Axis by m3lvm

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a heavily remake of various X_Axis Components.
It is work in progress however I have uploaded for someone else to have a play with to add their improvements.
The Issues with the I3 Steel are the linear shaft and lead screw are too close for standard 3D Printer Parts.
To over come this I downloaded a laser cut file and imported the Z Axis mounting bracket, and made the fixing posts for a LMH8LUU Linear Bearing and the brass lead screw nut.
then grafted them onto standard X_axis Parts.
While doing this I moved the whole x_axis to the other side of the linear shafts so moving everything further away from the frame.
This gives the cable chain more room to move, and allows more fine adjustment on bed positioning.
I would have printed the parts before posting, but my Gt2560 blew its main power rail.
Not impressed with the design of that board some serious modding for that asap.
I have made some changes to the Idler as the holes were half a mill out. While doing this I Added extra end stops.
When you print the parts make sure that they are as square as possible especially on the lead screw and bearing mounts I placed an m3 washer under the sole plate of the bearing as a shim. once all parts are fitted then complete the final tightening the bearing, as you can distort the alignment of the bearing.
I will be modifying the cable chain mount to compensate for a new bearing mount on the lead screw.
