This is a placeholder for all of the files needed for my 3D printer updates.
This covers:
- Hot End upgrade to E3Dv6 Direct (from J-Head)
- Y Axis upgrade to remove some wobble with the Drylin-Extrusion design
- Printable T-Slot nuts
- Enclosure for entire printer to help maintain better environment for printing
Found a t-slot scad generator on thingiverse; can't remember where. it was a simple script and worked for my needs. I've updated it with a basic additional functionality I needed. Sadly I haven't added comments to it but its simple enough to quickly figure out.
Made my own Y-axis rod holder design quickly done via OpenScad. Will need to print up 8 of those in total (they sandwhich the 8mm rod). I'm missing the lm8uu bearing holders for my y-axis plate - will add when they are designed up. I actually found a cheap chunk of 5/16" 304 Stainless rod at Fastenal (~$6 for 80 inches) and will be utilizing that with the lm8uu bearings. I didn't expect the rod to fit very
