Vertical X Carriage (w/ eccentric nut) v2.0

Do me a favor and a favor to yourself and use the following link to MyMiniFactory. Thingiverse is a bad joke. Some of my designs just disappeared forever. The website has several other issues and the smartphone app isn't working.

1 year, 10 months, 3 weeks, 3 days (or 694 days) after installing the Vertical X Carriage (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4014700) on my Tevo Tarantula I present you thenew Vertical X Carriage v2.0

After all that time, printing daily, the carriage (printed in PLA to be just a prototype), showed some signs that it was giving up.

I redesigned it and added some modifications, improvements and reinforced here and there.

It's the same concept, for the same purpose, but much better! And printed in PETG!!

Hardware

• Requires few hardware and most of them comes with the printer
• Works with radial fang mount

List

• 3 v solid wheels (they come with printer)
• 3 M5 x 30mm bolts (they come with printer). One bolt must be no longer than 30mm or it will hit the BLTouch (or just print a spacer or use any spacer or washer you have handy), the other 2 might be longer if you want.
• 3 M5 nuts (they come with printer)
• 2 nylon spacers (they come with printer)
• 2 M4 nuts. You can use the t-nuts
• 2 M4 x 12mm at least. It's OK to use longer, but do not use shorter.
• M5 Washers for fine alignment might be helpful (they come with printer)

Assembling tips

• First assemble the bottom wheel, here is the sequence: M5 x 30mm bolt, 2 washers, v solid wheel, eccentric nut, main body, washer (optional) and M5 nut.
• Second assemble the endstop and BLTouch, if you are using one.
• Now assemble the rest as you prefer.
• I assembled everything to the main body, by last I inserted the 2 top wheels, holding the carriage in place and finally the belt bracket.
• Sequence of the 2 top wheels: M5 x 30mm bolt (or longer), v solid wheels, washer, nylon spacer, main body, M5 nut.

Thanks
