Modular X Carriage for Ender3,CR-series,&more
Description
This is a modular X carriage that I remixed to work for Creality Ender 3, CR series, and similar printers. It will replace the stock X carriage on any machine that has a 2020 extrusion for the gantry and the X belt on the bottom of the extrusion. This X carriage can utilize magnets and/or a single m3 screw and m3 heat-set insert. It can be used with just the magnets, or it can be used without magnets and just the m3 insert and screw, or it can be used with both. It only needs one or the other though and its very secure either way. Magnetic method: The X carriage and the X carriage Mate piece each retain 4 magnets (5mmx3mm thick magnets) and also include some tabs and slots for alignment. You can use the included X Carriage Mate files (STL or STEP) and create your own simple mount for any combination of hot-end and fans. Just attach the Mate piece to your designs and you'll be able to quickly detach and switch between different tool head assemblies without tools. M3 screw and insert method: Put an m3 heat-set insert in the middle hole of the X carriage and ignore the other 4 holes for magnets. The mate piece has a through-hole for an m3 screw. Only one screw is necessary because of the tabs and slots in the design. There is a jpg that helps with placement of the Mate piece on your designs so that the nozzle on whichever hot-end you use will be an acceptable distance from the BLtouch. You can also print spacers if you would like your BLtouch to be lower.
