V2- PTFE bowden tube guide and CANBUS wire support

 

**** 7NOV24 -Removed a zip tie hole on the long arm's that was a weak point ****

 

I've made some adjustment after some feedback from the community.

Changes made over V1:

  • Added a option to have F695 bearings incorporated 
  • Enlarged the tube opening
  • Added cable/zip tie openings 
  • Added spot for 1mm piano wire if needed.

 

Recommended print settings:

  • Voron print settings (4 walls, 40% infill and 5 top and bottom layers)
  • Turn off thin walls
  • Bridge setting: keep only bridges (watch out for bridging for cable tie holes)
  • 0.2mm layers and 0.2mm first layer
  • No need to adjust for ABS shrinkage 

 

Required Hardware:

  • M3x8 Bolt and M3 T-nut
  • M5 bolt to suit option.
  • Optional M5 nut if you can fit it with the bearing option.

 

V1 - PTFE bowden tube guide and CANBUS wire support

This is can found inside the zip files and of the initial release

Required Hardware:

  • M3x8 Bolt and M3 T-nut
  • M5x10 Bolt or a M5x8/12
  • Optional 4mm drill bit for cleaning out bowden tube path

About

In my 350 build the PTFE tube kept getting caught so I made this arm to keep it up. The shorter arm works better so I recommend using it instead
The setup has also been used by a few user to support their CANBUS wires (zip tied to the reverse bowden)

Install

  • Drill out bowden guide with 4mm drill bit for a perfect fit (optional)
  • Bolt mount to rear frame with M3x8 and tnut putting the lip at the top
  • Screw arm on with M5x10 (I used a M5x8mm and it works fine) into the plastic allowing the arm to still be able to swivel
