Modification of the guides on the Y AXIS for the Artillery SWX3+ with MGN12 prismatic rails.
The prismatic rails need to be perfectly parallel to each other in horizontal and vertical planes, to obtain the best performance from your printer.
Material :
- 2 MGN12 guides, 450mm with 4 MGN12C, and 36 M3-12+ Tnuts screws+ split washers
- 6 TBHC M05-14 screws with nut and fan washers
- 16 TCHC M03-12 screws with fan washers
- printed cradle, 5mm T-spacers and 3.5mm T-blocks
- check that all t-spacers and t-blocks are the same dimensions.
Set up :
- remove the heating plate which is placed on the counter-plate.
- remove the belt with the pulley support located at the front.
- remove the wheels from the counterplate.
- remove the 4 screws that hold the vslot to the chassis, disconnect the cables from the motor and the Y stop, do not dismantle the motor and its plate.
- fix the MGN12 with their sliding pads on the exterior side of the locations, checking that the rails are at the same height. To help you: on a flat surface place the 3.5mm T-blocks at each end under the two 2020 vslots, fix the rails with their sliding blocks positioned at each end. Don't forget the space in front needed to support the pulley.
- attach the counter-platen to the cradle that you have printed (clean small printing defects if necessary) with the 6 M6 screws.
- fix the assembly to the MGN12C blocks in their location with the 16 M3 screws. If necessary, adjust the motor plate mounting.
- place the printed T-spacers under the vlots at the location of the 4 screws.
- position the rails on the chassis, reconnect the motor and stop cables.
- fix the vslots in their position by placing the work surface above the screws, which will keep the rails parallel.
- check that everything slides effortlessly, . Make sure the rails are parallel in all planes. If necessary, you will need to adjust the height of the T-spacers if the printer chassis is not perfect.
- put the belt back in place with the pulley support.
- replace the heating plate and redo the printer settings for bed and z-offset.
