Smooth X-axis for Prusa i3 with Leadscrews
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
**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…
