Modular Reinforced X-Carriage for Prusa / Air
Description
(Added a 4 bearings model and a new holder model)
This is a modular x-carriage that uses strong lm8uu bearings. It is inspired by Jonas Kühling carriage. The problem with his carriage is the weakness of the holders (as they are printed vertically)
Instructions
If you want to modify the files you must install the C++ OOML iearobotics.com/oomlwiki . The parts are parametric, so it should not be difficult to change most parameters.

Nice design, can't wait to fit it on my Prusa :)
The lm8uu_holder however does not fit on the xcarriage, I had to trim one shoulder on each with a blade to make it fit.
I like the idea of C++ OOML. Does it have the same limitations as OpenScad?
What do you mean by limitations? Up to now the generated code is OpenSCAD, so it cannot do anything that cannot be generated using OpenSCAD, but the way to design things is completely different: it is based on Object Oriented programming.
Then the OOML adds many functionalities not present in OpenSCAD, like relative rotations and translations, Euler rotations, attachments, system references, and some primities (like RoundedTablet) not present in OpenSCAD.
In the (near) future OOML will have its own viewer and STL generator, but up to now we have relied this task to OpenSCAD, as our goal was to test the viability of Object Oriented Mechanical design

Managed to print two of the clamps, but the third one has failed on me now for 5 times.. It just keeps on popping off of the printbed. I am going nuts! :D Whieeeeeee
Do you print over Kapton? Try with hair spray or acetone with little ABS solved. NO KAPTON REQUIRED :)
