  • updated left block with cutout for fan based on Dustmuffin's design. see “x axis block left v6 v0”

I redesigned the X-axis blocks to make them stiffer and easier to print and modify.

features:

  • pom nut location on top and bottom of the blocks to enable bottom wobble wings in the future
  • right tensioning block has holes for set screws to tension the x-axis rods
  • seam in bearing sleeve to easily insert bearings 

print settings:

  • I printed this in PETG 40 % infill 3 walls with polyholes for accurate hole sizing
  • I printed the blocks with the x-axis rod holes facing up 
  • no supports

instructions:

  • remove x-axis assembly from Z-axis
  • remove x-axis belt
  • pull blocks from original rods
  • hammer/push out bearings from original blocks
  • insert new bearings
  • install M3 heated inserts for pom nuts 
  • install M4 heated inserts for x axis tensioner
  • optional install M3 heated inserts for rod tensioners
  • reinstall x axis
