2-3-4-5-Owl - Ridged Y Carriage for Mendel and Prusa
Description
Updated Belt Holder (See Below) This Is An Ridged And Precise Y Carriage For Mendel And Prusa Printers. This Owl Shape Y Carriage Features Some Advantages Over The Original Frog Design: - It Utilizes All 5 Mounting Holes Of The Heatbed To Achieve Maximum Stiffens For The Heatbed. - It Utilizes 4 Linear Bearings To Improve Accuracy. - It Uses 3 Point Bed Leveling (4 Point Leveling Is Over Constraint. 4 Point Leveling Only Seams To Work If The Construction Is Flimsy Enough) - 2 Guiding Rods Are Used To Eliminate Rocking In The Leveling Screws. - No Need To Sacrifice Flexibility Of The Print Bed To Gain Accuracy - The Distance Between The Two Bearings On One Smooth Rod Can Be Extended By 36Mm To Achieve More Precise Guiding Of The Y Carriage. See [Printbed Diagnosis Pattern](Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2752812) - Sc8Uu Bearings Can Be Used - Even Lm8Uu Bearings Can Be Locked In The Bearing Holders To Prevent Them From Slipping Out. - The Bearing Blocks Are A Bit Shorter And The Mounting Screws Are A Bit Narrower Then In The Original Design. This Reduces The Force On The Bearings In The Case Of (Slight) Misalignment. - The Carriage Can Be Removed With Out Disassembling The Y Frame Just By Pushing The Bearings Out Of The Holders. - The Belt Is Held A Bit Lower To Eliminate The Triangular Deformation Of The Belt Path. This Reduces Wobble In The Belt Tension, Witch On One Hand Improves The Belt Tension If The Carriage Is Near The Center (Where Most Parts Are Printed). On The Other Hand It Will Prevents The Belt From Going Baggy By The Wobble Of The Tension.
