2020 Aluminum T-slot and V-slot cross-brackets
Description
This Is Designed To Allow For Extrusion Configurations That Normal Hardware Doesn'T Allow. Regular 90 Degree Brackets For Extrusion Normally Only Allow For Connections Where Each Extrusion Groove Operates In The Same As The Other. This Piece Allows You To Cross Your Beams Now Instead (Don'T Cross The Streams? Ha) To Free Up Your Options, Making It Much Easier To Lay Extrusions Across Each-Other. This Was Tested On 3-Channel (60Mm) Extrusions To Build A Gantry For A Farmbot: The Designs For The Vers 1.2 And 1.3 System Generally Are Designed To Be Assembled With Bent Metal Brackets. We Were Going To Build These With Regular 90 Degree Brackets Instead And Then Had That Moment Where We Realized Mistakes Were Made. So We Did This Quick Fix And It Works Quite Well, With 3 Per Side Of The Gantry Holding Up The Cross Slide. Naturally The T-Nuts And The Ribs On Either Side Of The Piece Take Most Of The Force, The Parts Of This Print That Slot Into The Groove Just Promote Easy Alignment And Hold Your Pre-Assembly Nuts For You Snugly In Place (Not Designed For Post-Assembly Nuts So They May Spin Freely, Not Tested). We Found That The Button-Cap Screws Interfered With Eachother Ever So Slightly So I'Ve Given One Of The Holes A 1Mm Slot Clearance To Help With That, Though It Shouldn'T Be An Issue With Socket Head Caps; It Should Assemble The Same In The End. I Also Recommend You Slot Each Of The Parts Groove Guide Into A Slot Before You Are Ready For Your Actual Assembly To 'Cut' Any Excess Print Material From Mild Bridging Issues That May Occur - Part Is Designed For A Snug Fit On 2020 Extrusions And Will Allow For Side-By-Side Placements. Provided T-Slot And V-Slot Versions As Well As Solid Models (Solidworks 2015+) To Allow Users To Remix As Needed.
