This part serves no purpose other than to make my Tronxy XY-2 Pro match the aesthetics of my Creality and like machines.
I like to install similar upgrades on all my “like” machines for uniformity sake. Since my Tronxy XY-2 Pro is barely recognizable as a Tronxy XY-2 Pro anymore, I decided to replace the last part that make the machine appear different from my Ender 3's and CR-10 clones.
This part prints easily without supports. I print it with PETG and as with most of my printer upgrades, with 100% infill. If you're impatient and don't want to print this with 100% infill, I'd recommend, at the very least, to use 1.2mm perimeters with 1.2mm top and bottom. It should also be fine printed in PLA, so long as you're not printing from a heated chamber or enclosure.
This mounts over the front carrier plate on the left side of the machine using four M3 X 38mm screws. You'll first want to mount the endstop switch to the underside of this cover with two M3 X 5mm screws. I used two of the four M3 X 5mm screws that previously held the stepper motor to the front carrier bracket, but had to purchase the M3 X 38mm screws separately.
UPDATE 10092024: I added two more files. The file named “X_Axis_Mount_TR_SV06.stl” is identical to the base file, except it has lettering inside identifying to me which of the two direct drive extruder kits work with it. The file named “X_Axis_Mount_TR_Sprite.stl” differs from the base file not only by being labeled for Sprite but it relocates the mounting point for the X axis end stop switch so the Tronxy XY-2 Pro will work with the Sprite extruder without losing build volume on the X axis.
The author remixed this model.
I made this 2mm taller than the original model since the Tronxy uses a thinner front mounting plate for the X axis motor.
I moved the endstop mounting position forward to be in-line with the position it was previously installed at with the stock endstop mounting bracket.
