NF Sunrise Linear Rail Mount
Description
I very excitedly bought a NF Sunrise last year for my old CR-10s, and then very dejectedly could not figure out how to install it on my CR-10S, so I designed this. MATERIALS: This is intended to be cut out from 3mm (1/8") aluminum and bent into shape, not 3D printed (sorry!). I was able to find 12"x12" (310mmx310mm) aluminum plate on Amazon for US$20. TOOLS REQUIRED: - Vice - Bandsaw (or hacksaw/coping saw) - Center hole punch (I used an automatic center punch for wood, worked fine) - Metal bending brake (or hammer and vice to bend) - Regular or step drill bits (7/64" or 2.5mm, 9/64" or 3.5mm, 3/16" or 4.5-5mm, 1/4" or 6-6.5mm, and 3/8" or 10mm) - Drill press and/or power drill - M4 tap - Spray adhesive I used a small bandsaw, drill press, metal punch and DIY metal bending brake to make this. If you don't have those tools, you may have luck with a hacksaw or coping saw, a power drill and a vice and hammer (for bending), I'm working on an instructables for how to make this. I'll post later as well as pictures. Here's a link to the parts on Fusion 360: https://a360.co/3JFxQoy, and I'll include a Fusion 360 file later as well. As I was upgrading to the NF Sunrise, I decided to upgrade my x-axis to a linear rail system. This is intended to mount directly to a linear rail. A 400mm MGN12H rail JUST fits on a CR-10S, I can't speak for other models. The mounting holes are a 20mmx20mm square, so this won't fit the MGN12C model. In order to mount a 400mm linear rail on the CR-10S, you need to remove the x-axis pulley cover that houses the x-axis end-stop. This isn't a problem for me since I use TMC2209s and use sensorless homing, but you may need to figure out how to re-mount the end-stop if you need one. Once mounted, I added a couple of washers to the two outermost screws to keep them poking out of the rail and acting as a stop for the carriage.
