The file 'Prusa Verticle Reinforced X-Carriage 3D Printer Model' is (stl,skp) file type, size is 1004.0KB.
A simple, reinforced, no zip-tie version of Prusa i3 x-carriage.
Features a TAZ inspired belt holder (simple yet it works perfectly).
Update V3:
1). No longer uses any screws to hold the x-carriage.
Update V2:
1). Reversed recessed hole that holds the nut (allows you to tighten facing down).
2). Added thickened support and L shaped belt holder to further improve the design.
3). Added side supports to ensure the plastic can't snap under tension.
Now holds the belt even tighter with less screw tension!
Source SketchUp file included.
I designed this x-carriage mount for use with Greg's Wade V5 for Prusa i3 however it will work for any extruder that mounts using 24mm holes (which is basically all of them).
