Original x-end R8 design with M3x5x4 heat set insets. To melt the inserts on the holes besides the rods you may use screws (for example M3x10).
Side cuts at the top and the bottom that used to check the correct position of the rods through the assembly also may use to check the clearance of heat set insets.
There are two versions in files:
- MINI-x-end-R8-M3-heat-set-insets - with all nuts replaced by heat set insets
- MINI-x-end-R8-M3-heat-set-insets-nylock - with all nuts replaced by heatset insets except the nylock nut
Fasteners:
- M3x5x4 heat set insets - 5 pcs for MINI-x-end-R8-M3-heat-set-insets and 4 pcs for MINI-x-end-R8-M3-heat-set-insets-nylock
- M3 nylock nut - 1 pcs for MINI-x-end-R8-M3-heat-set-insets-nylock
I printed it with colorFabb XT-CF20.
UPD 15.11.2023 rev2: Fix the holes dimentions. Now the holes diameter 4.7mm instead of 4.6mm

Differences of the remix compared to the original
