Description

PDF

This is technically not a remix of the original part as I remodeled it from zero, but I strongly followed the design of the original part :)

I have the MicroSwiss DirectDrive + AllMetalHotend assembly for V-Rollers and wanted to use it with linear rails.

 

Additional materials needed:

5x M3 Bolt (4 for MGN12H Carriage and 1 for Extruder)

2x M5 Bolt (for Extruder - M5 Screws can be salvaged from the V-Roller Bearings)

 

To help my design approach, I also used the 3D representation of the MicroSwiss DD: https://www.printables.com/de/model/116678-microswiss-ender-5-directdriveallmetalhotend-assem

Should print well with PETG or ABS/ASA.
Consider using ABS/ASA if you have a heated chamber,

 

Post-Printing

To ease mounting, screw the M5 Bolt once into the part before assembly, this will self-tap the hole.

Note: Don't screw it in and out too fast as friction could melt the material :)

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Modified X_Axis_Linear_Rail_Mount_final.stl:

  • Added 3rd Screw Mounting Point
  • The upper two bolts M3 and M5 screw into the aluminum thread of the Extruder, bolts are placed into pockets of the part; respective access with allen-key is prepared.
  • The lower screw screws into the material of the mount using an M5 Bolt
  • Made clearance for the smooth z-rod when homing
  • Added a nose for a better mating area with the X-Axis homing switch (depends on where you mount the switch)
  • Widened the mount such, that you can slide it onto the rail from the side without unmounting the whole rail
