TronXY X5S Single Z Motor Mod

The Tronxy X5s is a brilliant machine when tuned properly, but one thing i kept struggling with was the two Z motors moving under the weight of gravity when the power is off.

This was designed to eliminate that issue whilst increasing Z resolution and also Z height to 440mm.

Due to the gearing effect of the 60 or 40 tooth gears you will need to change your printer controllers Z Steps to 3x (for 60 tooth pulleys) or 2x (for 40 tooth) whatever it currently is and of course then recalibrate.

You will need a few parts:

2 x 500mm long 2mm pitch Lead screws

2 x Pillow Block Flange Bearings

2 x smooth 2GT 6mm/10mm Wide Belt Timing Pulleys

1 x toothed 2GT 6mm/10mm Wide Belt Timing Pulley

1220mm GT2 Closed loop Belt

2 x GT2 Synchronous Wheel 60 or 40 tooth 8mm Bore Aluminum Timing Pulley

2 x 30mm M5 nuts and bolts for the GT2 pulleys

4 x 20mm M5 nuts and bolts to hold the Pillow Bearings in place

4 x 10mm M3 bolts for the stepper motor

a couple of washers on top and below the GT2 pulleys

There are two parts . one motor mount - with left and right variants - and one mount for the other side.

Update : May 2020 : I've just added an updated version for 2020 :)

This new version adds

more space for the stepper motor for longer belts, or for 20, 40 or 60 tooth drive pulleys

a hole for an M5 bolt and retaining nut which allows for much easier tensioning of the belt.

a wider tower for the top pulley holder

If you require a right hand side version, you can just mirror the left hand part.
