Model information

The titla says it, this is an x carriage that allows you to use the Voron toolhead ecosystem on a Prusa. The carriage has been modified from the Voron Legacy x carriage.

You will need Bear x ends to use this - https://github.com/gregsaun/bear_extruder_and_x_axis

I repeat, stock x ends will not work because of the belt path. If you use stock X ends, your x moves will be nonlinear.

 

BOM : 

  • all parts from this, printed in ABS or ASA (PETG should work too)
  • all parts for the Voron toolhead you want to use - depends on which one you want, refer to the Voroon sourcing guide
  • one M3 hex nut
  • two LM8LUU bearings
  • one M3x6 screw
  • seven heatset inserts, the same kind that is used on all Voron parts (M3x5x4)
  • three M3x40 screws
  • two M3x30 screws
  • two M3x20 screws
  • two M3x16 screws
  • a PL08 or PL05 inductive probe
  • one M2x12 screw (you can reuse one from your Prusa kit)

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE 

Make sure you print the x carriage and x ends in the same material. This helps prevent misalignment, increasing axis precision and prolonging bearing and rod life.

 

Licensing and attributions:

Licensing on this model is a bit complicated. The cable tail has been reused without modification from the Skelestruder project : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2845416

Thus, the tail is licensed under Creative Commons - Attribution.

The rest of the models are licensed under GNU GPL v3.

The x carriage has been modified from the Voron legacy parts : https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Legacy

I would also like to give credit to the Afterbearner (https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/54545-afterbearner-the-prusa-bear-afterburner) which is basically the same thing. My aim was to recreate what was done there, but without changing the X ends and with cleaner, easier to edit cource files.
