I recently upgraded an Ender 3v2 with linear rails on all |
|
axes. However, the X-Axis I purchased from Amazon ( |
|
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09M73XRBH ) secures |
|
the rail to the top of the X 2020 bar and not the front |
|
as a lot of people do. |
|
|
|
The downside to mounting it on either axis is you lose a |
|
slight amount of printing area on said axis. As I very |
|
rarely use the full height, I thought it was a better |
|
option to use it as it was designed. |
|
|
|
I couldn't find a bracket, so I remixed this excellent |
|
one from YungSnubs to screw directly onto the bracket |
|
that came with the linear rail ( |
|
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5543578 ). |
|
|
|
A couple of things to note: |
|
I printed in 100% PETG because at the end of the day it's |
|
replacing a solid metal bracket, so I wanted it as solid |
|
as possible. I'm sure much less infill would be fine but |
|
it's up to you. |
|
|
|
Also use 2 M5x8mm screws. No bigger as they will push |
|
against the linear rail slider. And use rounded head ones |
|
so they fit in the recess of the hole, or the extruder |
|
won't sit against the plate. |
|
|
|
You can use support blockers for the screw holes as no |
|
supports are needed for them. |
|
|
|
Lastly, after a bit of trial and error positioning the |
|
rails in the optimum place I had to change the following |
|
settings: |
|
X Bed Size: 222 |
|
Y Bed Size: 222 |
|
X min position: -5 |
|
Y min position: -24 |
|
X max position: 222 |
|
Y max position: 222 |
|
Z max position: 235 |
|
|
|
These might be different on your printer, I don't know, |
|
but I use very small clamp/clips, and this is the maximum |
|
I can go within 1mm inside all 4 edge clips. I can go a |
|
little higher, but I decided to keep it at 235 because I |
|
VERY rarely go anywhere near that high or i'd use my |
|
other printers and it gives a little room for my bed |
|
changing height slightly over time. |
