Improved X ends for Prusa with clamped rods
by jonaskuehling

Description

Modified version of jonaskuehling's x-ends for use with LM10UU/LM10LUU and 10mm z-rod.

I am marking this as work in progress because I haven't mounted this into my mendelmax yet.

June 8, 2012
Uploaded v1.1 and no longer WIP.
Backporting some improvements form the resin nut version thingiverse.com/thing:23842

Apr 11, 2012
Updated the idler files and scad file to fix an unsupported hole in the zstop screw holder.

Instructions

There are 2 variants of these x-ends uploaded, the misumi leadscrew and normal M8. Print the ones you needed.

These x-ends takes either 2 LM10UU or 1 LM10LUU.

If you are using a different leadscrew, post the dimensions of the nut in comments, and i will try to make another variant.

anyone set this up using a leadscrew and nut from terawatt industries?  8mm leadscrew not quite sure on the nut dimensions

jtktam on November 6, 2012 said:

do you have the part # from misumi? thanks!

tommyc on November 6, 2012 said:

Is it possible to get this for a 10mm x-axis?

tommyc on November 6, 2012 said:

Just change  "rod_dia = 8;" to "rod_dia = 10;" at the top of the scad file and recompile.

what is the spring / bolt used for in this picture?
http://www.thingiverse.com/ima... I can't work it out!

tommyc on September 29, 2012 said:

This is the plunger for the build in Z stop adjustor.  This picture should give you a better idea http://www.flickr.com/photos/3...
I use a Hall-O for z stop in this bot.

Like the x-rod clamps, I'm building a MMax1.5 with 10mm z-rods and 8mm x-rods, 8mm acme leadscrews and LM10UU's in the z-axis, so I have picked the x-end-idler v1.1 and x-end-motor v1.1 - is that right?

tommyc on September 29, 2012 said:

Yes, That's correct

jneong on August 7, 2012 said:

Thanks for the awesome x-ends! Any chance you can make the idler end take 8mm bushings or LM8UUs for the X-rails to negate any binding?

dethcookie on August 6, 2012 said:

This may be a dumb question, but I am using the Acme leadscrew and nut from TechPaladin ( http://techpaladin.com/store/#...
&
amp;mode=product
&
amp;product=8445245 ), but I can't figure out if the nut should go in the bottom, or the top section of the x-end.

I'm used to using 2x M8 nuts with a spring inbetween on my Prusa. Do I need 2 leadscrew nuts as well for this design?

tommyc on August 6, 2012 said:

If you use the non misumi version, then it is the same design as the normal prusa x-ends. so 2 nut and a spring in the middle. However, you should be able to get away with just one nut on the bottom.

This looks really good. I'm going to upgrade my Mendelmax 1.0 to use 10mm rods and leadscrews using these.

Do you know what the correct part number for the lead screws and nuts are? I want to make sure I order the correct sizes.

Thanks!

tommyc on May 17, 2012 said:

if you would hold a bit, i am building my MM1.5 with misumi 10mm leadscrew and resin nut. Will post a new version of this specific to that setup, with misumi part numbers.

Labgeek on April 21, 2012 said:

What's the X rods size?

Pointedstick on April 23, 2012 said:

8mm, but you can edit the scad file to increase them to 10mm easily enough.

bwevans on April 16, 2012 said:

That's some great looking plastic, care to share your source?

tommyc on April 16, 2012 said:

Already there, just grep all the scad files.
