You wouldn't have to have Step files for these files so i can modify them easier? V2 the hot end fan, even without the cover is hitting the corner of the upper supports, need to shave 3mm off to get clearance. This is with the original belts, not rails.

Also, what screws did you envision that would be used to clamp the LM12UUs into the plastic? None of the screws in your list seem to work. It looks like maybe a 2.5mm OD, but i would want some type of plastic screw without a heat insert.

Thanks!

where can i get 21MM rods? i cant find them at all on mcmaster-carr

@Sledge300blk_818227 just get the LM12UU 12mm internal diameter but they are 21mm external diameter

Hello, can you add a file for linear bearing size LM10UU and Shaft Mount 10mm? (edited)

Adding 2 more motors can make it more stable and professional.

Prints great, parts fit, seems to work as promised.

Sorry have another question about version 1, instead of the brackets bein on the side of the bed frame, has no one simply switched them up and placed both along the front of the bed frame so the rods will be almost either side?. I can try this today if not

@Wozza82_292457 ahh providing the control box dont get in the way as i plan to keep it, and just move it back as much as possle

Me di cuenta tarde que tocaba al nivelar. jajajaj
pero no hace falta tanta modificasion.
solo cortar varillas, otro tipo de soportes y desplazarlos al frente el diseƱo es bastante bueno no hace falta cambiarlo tanto.

This is a remake which places the rods outside of the main frame. Original does not work as it crashes into the rods when leveling, auto leveling or when printing a large images. I would have preferred to make the top[ and mounting plates tied together but my printer plate it too small for that

@CrouchingFro_1224593 Great job!
My mounts don't work with the stock head, I'll be posting updated models shortly for a major redesign of the printer to increase structural rigidity and reduce weight by more than 700 grams.

@CrouchingFro_1224593 Hi mate! Would you mind sharing the stl of the remake?

I like the design and have printed it out. On my machine I have a problem with the extruder hitting the metal brackets when homing or auto leveling. I think it would work better if they could be printed and mounted on the top of the 20 X 20 rails and would also recommend making them mount approximately 2 inches higher. There is enough rod length to do this plus you wouldn't have to relocate the power supply/control board assembly. I would love to be able to do this successfully. Thank you

@StephenWhaley_649644 Unfortunately I haven't tested this with native head, but I will in the future. Thanks for your feedback, I'll make a note.

I think you might be missing the clamps for the rods from your list of items.

I believe you'd need 4x of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000909598267.html (edited)

I've noticed exactly the same thing with mine. This looks fantastic! Thank you for making it up.
