The file 'Solidoodle X-carriage And New Printable Extruder Assembly. 3D Printer Model' is (STL) file type, size is 1.2MB.
This is for advanced users only, I will not be providing detailed instructions on assembly at this point, as it is Version 1.0 and requires wider testing then just me. I built this for my Solidoodle 3, and I am fairly sure it will works on a Solidoodle 2 but need confirmation.
This is a printable replacement for the Solidoodle x-axis carriage and extruder assembly. This uses few pieces and offers more precise and permanent adjustment of the rear pinch blocks for the x-axis carriage. With this carriage assembly I am reliably printing at 100mm/s and fast moves are going at 120mm/s I have not tested higher speeds yet. I am looking forward to any constructive critasism that may be given too me.
I have also included a dimensioned drawing of the carriage extruder area, I know the numbers are a little odd, but there are some tight spaces in the extruder assembly.
Let me know if you find any issues or need a hand at getting it working properly in this thread at soliforum.
