The file 'Caribou Linear Rails 15×15 3D Printer Model' is (zip,stl,rar) file type, size is 31.8MB.

Summary

This is a modification to use X-Axis and Y-Axis Linear Rails 15x15 with a Caribou MK3S printer. Z-Axis uses MGN12 rails.

No firmware modification is requiered with the new Y-axis. Please follow the mounting instructions. But the X-Motor connector must be inverted.

You will need the next materials to build this printer:

Y-Axis:

  • 2 x HGH15CA blocks
  • 2 x HGR15RH rails (length must be 354mm)

X-Axis:

  • 1 x HGH15CA block
  • 1 x HGR15RH rail (length must be 385mm)
  • A new belt (length must be 885mm)

Z-Axis:

  • 2 x MGN12H blocks
  • 2 x MGN12 rails (length must be 400mm)

NOTE: Due to the high amount of stl files I will publish them into two zip files, one for the xz-axis and other for the y-axis. The stl files published here directly are only to show them.

I have included 3mf files with multimaterial versions or custom supports of some parts.

It is compatible with Bondtech extruders.

The extruder showed in the pictures is published here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3652205.

The LCD Cover showed is published here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3213892.

Printed and checked. Passes XYZ Calibration and Selftest.

2019/12/28:

  • New Y-Axis (based on Zaribo release 3), no firmware modification is required with this new y-axis, (please check for correct PINDA home). The height is 320 using Bondtech extruders.
  • Minor improvements on some parts.
  • Z-MotorMount now allow to move z-motors 1mm towards left or right for better adjust.
