The file 'Tevo Tarantula Simple Modular X Carriage With Layer Fan 3D Printer Model' is (STL) file type, size is 355.8KB.
-Inspired by other magnetic modular x carriages, I present you this modular X-carriage for Tevo Tarantula 40x20mm rail.
-Simpler build and design, less material to print, less mass and vibrations, less room for errors.
-Extruder is mounted to plate via 6mm magnets.
-Magnets to be mounted and hot glued if needed
-51mm radial fan is mounted to the back via foam tape to eliminate noise and vibration.
-Radial fan's position also balances with the extruder.
-An external x axis limit switch plate is added to the left z axis carriage to activate the limit switch; the limit switch is mounted at the back of the front plate. (Refer to images)
-Belt to be mounted on the top 2 screws (left and right)
Disclaimer: I obtained dimensions from E3D official documentation/ drawings and a little bit of googling for BL touch, therefore dimensions may be inaccurate. I do not earn tips and money for designing these parts and I did waste my very own filaments during the prototyping process. Feel free to leave a note if the parts didn't work out, or better yet offer me the real dimensions!
