Description

PDF

I've converted my ender 3 pro x axis to linear rail without losing any print space by removing the 2020 profile. I've used and remixed many different models.

You can find necessary parts list at the bottom of the page, and where they are used on pictures. 

You can use the original belt. 

I'm using kevinakasam belted-Z , so it's compatible. 

 

Linear Rail Holder - Remix : 

On left rail holder I've cut down a small part to open space for x axis limit switch. 

I've divided the tensioner to be able to print each part individually. 

Right rail holder stays as original.

Linear Rail Car - X Plate Mount 

You need to drill 4 m3 holes to x plate to mount the lienear-rail-car. I used the drill guide model which you can download from:

Bltouch Mount Remix

With 4 new screws on x-plate (linear rail car mount), the bltouch needs to be remixed slightly.

Sherpa Mini Remix 

I've remixed sherpa mini mount. Added a hole for chain mount and changed the plate mounting holes size to be able to used with m4 screw directly.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

On left rail holder I've cut down a small part to open space for x axis limit switch. I've divided the tensioner to be able to print each part individually.
