Description

PDF

This mod was created to replace stock springs with softer ones. It's hard to find springs with the same lengths so I changed cable strain relief to compensate smaller length of the springs.

Stock spring: 

wire diameter: 0.8mm 

length: 12mm outer 

diameter: 5mm

 

Current mode is for 0.4mm wire 15mm length springs. It helps to reduce vibrations on X.

 

Print settings:

Perimeters\top\bottom 4+

Filament: ABS and stronger 

After running PETG part for couple of months it distorted a lot due too temperatures and force applied. Reprinted with ABS, so far no issues.

 

Assembly:

  1. Remove extruder cover by unscrewing 2 screws, 1 on each side (bottom)
  2. Unscrew original cable strain relief, 2 screws
  3. Remove original springs
  4. Install new springs
  5. Install new cable strain relief (printed part)
  6. Install extruder cover
  7. Done
