A while back I upgraded my P3Steel XL from threaded rods to leadscrews which I had to design some parts to do.
Initially, I designed these parts using OpenSCAD (files still available) but have more recently moved to designing the parts using OnShape (you can find the source along with my e3D titan carriage mount and cooling solution here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/367e02ef7150ebe882159b94/w/2b2005ce9d7bf315204d75b4/e/114c7184cce1f865ad030b47)
Changes:
8-May-2018
- I've uploaded my most recent version of these which I'm going to consider released and remove the WIP notice
- Development of the latest version is now exclusively done via OnShape
- I've reduced some of the chamfers to give the parts a cleaner look
- No changes to connection measurements (designed for P3Steel)
- Currently there is no mount for a end stop switch (because i've moved to sensorless homing using the excellent Duet Wifi board). I'll add that later
10-Feb-2017
- Added a hasBearingDivider boolean to turn the divider on and off more easily.
- Corrected some minor spelling mistakes in the scad file comments
16-Nov-2016
- Updated the XTensor to be a bit easier to print (especially with ABS)
- Added a pre-compiled XTensor stl file
07-Nov-2016
- Shortened the name of source files
- Made 18mm and 17mm STL files for convenience, scad file defaults to 18mm (refers to value of variable distanceBetweenLinearBearingAndLeadRod)
30-Oct-2016
- Fixed a minor bug that caused the motor centre to be off by 1mm in the Z axis (thanks to @emphacy for pointing that out!). Don't worry if you've already printed though, this is more of an aesthetic fix
- Also fixed a minor issue that caused the X-Stop mount to ever so slightly take up some screw void space
3-Oct-2016
- Fixed a bug in both the .scad and .stl files were the vertical linear rod centre and leadscrew centre were off by 0.5mm in the X axis. They should now be exactly 18mm from centre to centre with the default value.
