Full Metal AWD Mod for the RatRig V-Core 3.1

This is merely a pre-release for adventurous builders before i get around to installing this system on my machine, tread carefully. A modified version of the enclosure 2.0 front panel is in the works. 

This modification is technically compatible with a regular, unenclosed V-Core 3.1, although you will have to move the front upper 3030 extrusion down to clear the belts. 

This modification requires the use of D_Jespersen's Motor decoupler-Damper mod (amazing upgrade for any printer that can fit it, i recommend you add those to the 2 rear AB motors as well). You can find the original model HERE. 

If you would like more information or chat about the project, you can join the RatRig community Discord server HERE, we also have a channel specifically for AWD there :).

To upgrade your printer, you will need some hardware:

4x AWD_plate cut from a 3mm sheet metal of your choice (steel or aluminium is recommended) (previously 4mm but this will require you to add another 1mm spacer to your pulley stacks)

6x Enclosure 2.0 idler bearing stacks (including all spacers) (2x included in enclosure 2.0 kit)

6x m5x55 cap head Screws

2x m5x20 countersunk Screws

8x m5 hex nyloc Nuts

4x m6x18 cap head screws (included in enclosure 2.0 kit)

4x m6 3030 drop-in nuts (included in enclosure 2.0 kit)

+ All hardware necessary for the Motor decouplers by D_Jespersen, except for the m3 heat-press inserts

+ new belts, this modification adds around 30cm per belt
