update 2. Nov 2022
Different heights of the big shoulder of the pulleys from different vendors. forced me to make different versions of the L mount. So measure your pulley and chose the correct mount.
and R mount is corrected by 0.2

BOM
1 pcs ø5x55 D-shaft (grind 5mm off a 60mm ore just leave it at 60mm)
1 pcs ø5x60 D-shaft https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003428332649.html
4 pcs bearings 695zz
4 pcs 1mm shims ID5 OD8
1 pcs 6mm shim ID5 OD10
2 pcs spring couplers 2x ID5 OD19-L25 ( important ID5 in both ends )
2 pcs stepper dampers
8 pcs M3x40 (old is 35) (mount to Ratrig motor plates)
4 pcs M3x10 (damper-mount)
4 pcs M3x6 (damper-motor)
8 pcs M3x6 heat inserts
4 pcs M3 washer
print them
With no support
prep the parts
- only the top 4 holes have inserts
- important that they are mounted opposite the top surface
(to give full strength the the part) - take a longer M3 screw put through the top holes
- screw on heat insert to M3
- heat up with a lighter or solder iron
- pull the insert into place
building instructions
- press bearings in part
- install D-shaft with a 1mm shim in both ends
- place pulley on top R ----- and 6mm shim and pulley on top L
- place spring coupler on bottom
- hold the assembly gentle together wile the small screws are tightened in to the D-shaft
- mount damper to the motor (thru the 2x Ø3.5 holes) with M3x6 screws
- mount assembly to the damper with M3x10 screws and washers
- tighten the little screw in the spring coupler to the motor shaft
- mount the whole assembly to the printer
L Assembly

R Assembly

A nice side effect is that it positions the motor pulleys automatically in the correct height for the belt path
