Prusa i3 X Carriage Adapter for Bulldog XL Extruder by Cyrrus

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

An X Carriage adapter for the Bulldog XL and Prusa i3 (Aurora design).
It is specially designed so that the E3D fan shroud can still fit in the upright position.
NOTE: I mirrored the Bulldog XL by following a YouTube tutorial.
The servo I'm using is the TGY-1440A. (sub-micro servo)http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7475__Turnigy_1440A_Servo_4_4g_0_8kg_10sec_V2_.html
If you don't want to use a servo for the Z probe I have also attached an alternative which utilizes a rubber band snap mechanism. The idea was given to me by a mate.http://www.thingiverse.com/Aistaca/about
The switch is a DM3 micro switch from Jaycar.http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=SM1036
Tolerances have already been accounted for so that the Bulldog XL can sit nicely in the mounting grove.
Most of the screws used are M3 x 15mm.
Optional active cooling.
No supports needed!!
This actually increased my printer speed by 1,200%.
NOTE: the stepper cooling fan that can be seen in some of the images can be found here:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35436
