My latest X carriage for my horizontal X axis conversion https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2563256 for the Anet A8.
11/12/17 - Added new version of The Claw duct. This one is very similar in shape to the spaceship duct and positions the airflow much better than my original attempt. I will be adding versions with mounts for sensors soon!
Big thanks go out to Ben Fisher for the suggestion of how to improve the original carriage. It means you can now quickly and easily remove the E3D from the carriage without fully disassembling the X axis.
The fan duct is designed to sit VERY low. As close to the bed as possible without being lower than the nozzle.
When attaching belt to carriage, insert into hole and wiggle into the holder. You may want to use a small allen key to make sure it is secure.
The sensor mounts HAVE NOT been tested as I do not use a sensor. Please let me know if there are any problems
Needed Parts:
4x igus drylin RJ4JP-01-08 bearings - IGUS DryLin® RJ4JP 01-08 Bearing
2x M3 x 25mm Cap Head Bolts to mount clamp to carriage - Boltbase
2x M3 x 10mm Countersunk Bolts to mount Turbofan Mount to carriage - Boltbase
1x M3 x 15mm Bolt to mount 40mm duct to carriage - Boltbase
2x M3 x 20mm Pan Head Bolts to mount Turbofan to Turbofan mount. Can substitute with other bolts + washers - Boltbase
4x M3 x 20mm Cap Head Bolts to mount 40mm fan to 40mm fan duct - Boltbase
7x M3 Nuts - Boltbase
Printing:
0.2mm layer height
3 Walls
4 Top/Bottom layers
15% Cubic infill used for all parts
Supports:
Carriage: Supports everywhere 10% lines (use roofs + floors to keep it tidy)
40mm Duct: Supports everywhere 10% lines (no roofs or floors)
Cooling ducts with sensor mounts: Supports touching buildplate 10% lines (use roofs + floors)
Material:
I used PLA however it would not hold up if you print ABS so bare this in mind.
Hotend Offset:
// The size of the print bed
#define X_BED_SIZE 220
#define Y_BED_SIZE 220
// Travel limits (mm) after homing, corresponding to endstop positions.
#define X_MIN_POS -29
#define Y_MIN_POS -10
#define Z_MIN_POS 0
#define X_MAX_POS X_BED_SIZE
#define Y_MAX_POS Y_BED_SIZE
#define Z_MAX_POS 225
Sensor Offset:
#define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0 // X offset: -left +right [of the nozzle]
#define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 67 // Y offset: -front +behind [the nozzle]
#define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0 // Z offset: -below +above [the nozzle]
