Smooth X-axis for Prusa i3 with Leadscrews
Description
**Note:** X-Motor.Stl And X-Idler.Stl Are Made For 22Mm Spacing **Update 15.5.2016** - Moved X-Stepper Mount Point 5Mm To Left For 21Mm Version (X-Motor_21Mm_Wider.Stl) **Update 14.2.2016** - Made Parts With 21Mm Spacing For Geeetech I3 Pro C **Update 29.12.2015** - I Had Identified Wrongly The Idler Bearings My Printer Came With. They'Re F693Zz, Not F623Zz. With Latter Gt2 Belt Could Not Move Freely. I Have Modified The Clearance Of The Belt Tensioners Arm Part So That Both Bearings Should Now Work. - Updated Belt Tensioner Arm Part Is Added As Own File For Those That Have Printed The Complete Set Before. --- X-Axis With Fixed X-Endstop And Finger Adjustable Belt Tensioner. Nothing New Compared To Already Published (Like Ffleurey'S <A Href="Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:160636">Thing:169636</A> And Jkoljo'S <A Href="Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:372056">Thing:372056</A>). It'S Just This Smooth Looking Design I Like And Wanted To Share It. Note That There'S No Spesific Z-Endstop Trigger Point As I Prefer Inductive Proximity Switch (Mounted With <A Href="Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1066268">The Extruder</A>). **The Distance Between Z-Axis'S Smooth Rod And Leadscrew Is Not Same In All Prusa I3 Versions.** The Kit I Bought From Aliexpress.Com Is Having 8Mm Acrylic Frame And Designed With 22Mm Distance But It Seems That 17Mm Is More Common. Also In Geeetech I3 X The Distance Is Different, 27Mm. - I Have Made Necessary Modifications And Now There'S X-Motor And X-Idler For 17Mm, 21Mm And 27Mm Distance Too. Please Inform Me If The Design Has Any Faults. - Stepper Motor Mounting Point Is Moved 5Mm To The Left In X-Motor_27Mm (Geeetech I3 X) Gt2 Belt Ends Should Stay In Place Without Zip-Ties. My Printer Is Fixed In Enclosed Cabinet So Belt Removal Is Easier And Doesn'T Require Removal Of X-Carriage. <H5>Required Hardware</H5> <Pre><Code>2 X F623Zz (3X10X4) Or F693Zz (3X8X4) Flanged Bearing (Idler) 4 X M3 20Mm Recessed Head Screw (Stepper + Idler) 1 X M3 Nyloc Nut (Idler) 6 X M3 12Mm Hex Socket Screw (Leadscrew Nuts) 2 X M3 10-16Mm Hex Socket Screw (Tensioner) 2 X M3 Nut (Tensioner) 1 X M4 20-30Mm Hex Screw (Tensioner) 1 X M4 Nut (Tensioner) </Code></Pre>
