Description

This is a robust dovetail mounting system designed specifically for SBR20 linear rail sliding blocks (SBR20UU). I created this mechanism to allow for modular, quick-change attachments on linear motion projects without unscrewing the base block every time.

Key Features:

  • Quick-Swap Design: Easily slide different tools or mechanisms onto your linear rails.

  • Locking Mechanism: Includes a dedicated hole for an M3 screw. This acts as a set screw to firmly lock the dovetail plate in position, preventing sliding during operation.

  • Heavy Duty: Designed with thick walls and high infill to withstand mechanical stress.

Hardware Required

  • 4x Machine Screws: (Typically M5 or M6) to secure the base to the SBR20 block.

  • 1x M3 Screw: Used as the locking set screw (length depends on your preference, 10mm-15mm recommended).

  • If you prefer using a nut rather than threading into the plastic.


Print Settings

These parts are designed for mechanical stress, so strength is a priority over speed.

  • Layer Height: 0.20 mm

  • Infill: 50%

  • Infill Pattern: Gyroid (Essential for isotropic strength in mechanical parts)

  • Wall/Perimeter Count: 4 walls (Reinforces the dovetail geometry and the M3 screw hole against shear forces)

  • Material: PLA+ / PETG / ABS

  • Supports: No supports required if printed flat.
