Summary

this is a X carriage named Loop:

  • for standart linear bearing LM8UU
  • standart 50mm M4 fixation holes for extruder
  • standart 50mm spaced rod (ex: RepRap Prusa, MendelMax etc.)
  • Fan mount integrated
  • Strong structure for a rigid ABS print (work as well with PLA of course)
  • integrated belt tensionning system (one side only)

it's mainly a variant of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9869
what is different then?

  • linear bearing are inserted from the side, not from the bottom
  • linear housing is really tight avoiding use of plastic collar or screw (maybe too much, see instructions)
  • the main structure has been reinforced because i found the Greg's version to be too bendable for a proper rigidity.
  • Belt attachement position have been optimized to avoid collision with extruder gear (see my extruder Loop: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:169372)
  • Belt clamp include nuts cavity
  • include fan mount holes with nuts for 40mm fan air duct. want one? I desinged this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:169331
  • it's fully redesigned in Solidworks 2013

see instruction for more informations and changelog
feel free to make suggestions to improve this design!
