This print takes quite some time and uses a lot of material, but in my opinion it worth it.
I spent a lot of time trying to fix the annoying wobbling issue using the stock carriage, before printing it.
Now my carriage is solid as I always wanted.
This is a remix, so I made a few changes:
- Legs more square and solid for sturdiness.
- More room on the legs to fit large knobs, like these:
- No need for belt brackets. There is a loop embedded on the main body to attach the belt. By doing that, the end stop will hit the main body as it does on the stock carriage.
To assemble this, besides the hardware already on the stock carriage, you just need:
- 4x M3 washers
- 4x M3 x 14mm bolts (or a little shorter). Longer than 14mm won't fit.
Washers and bolts are only to assure the legs will be held firmly in place. Not sure if it's even necessary because everything is very tight, I had to carefully hammer the legs down with a mallet, but I recommend, just in case.
Check two tests I made after this upgrade and judge by yourself! 20x20x60 Test Tower to show the result (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2790496) Also check some mods I made on my printer to achieve this result: No Sanding Oldham: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2581521/files X Carriage: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3999541

100%
Filament: Hatchbox PLA
Notes:
I printed in PLA, after sometime I'll update about its performance.
UPDATE 03/05/2020: still running this carriage. PLA is holding surprisingly well. Everything is solid. If it breaks or becomes to wobble I'll update.
It might not be the best material for this usage. You should consider using some thing stronger.
100% infill to make it as solid as possible.
You might be able to print it without support, but I chose to use it, just to make sure the print would print out properly from the very first try.
