here it is in full quantity. I think we are missing the belt tension adjustment piece. Looks like the belt pulley holder is there, but the part it connects to with a bolt to apply tension isn’t there.
I’m not fully confident in the vern’s (mpcnc) aluminum cutting capability since it is still on the compromised parts, so it is going to be laser cut from acrylic until I can get the aluminum cut. Looks like 10.5x10" layout in acrylic if I got them all in the right quantity:
The small spacers, you need multiples. 4 of the triangular one, 6 of the tiny one, 4 of the other one. A lot of those parts need multiples but I am sure you know tht part.
No extra part this time, it tensions off the rail.
Everything will be fine in acrylic except the X rail holders. Actually that might be a good way to save on the kit parts. Maybe clear acrylic for everything but those two parts.
I’ll flip that piece you noted. So, yhere is no y stop in that part set…
Core and x parts are printed. Printing first set of 2 for the y axis and then the z will print in 3 sets. I grouped and sliced 3 sets that can be repeated and each prints in about 2 hours.
Damn your beating me LOL. I’m still waiting for the filament to get here, supposed to be today. Just got home from doing some running. Going to fire up the little LR3 here in a bit and try out some parts.
I did a “price” comparison. Public Amazon list is here if others want to look. Amazon.com
~$105 USD for 5x 300mm MGN12H rails, M3x10mm, T Nuts
~$50 USD replace 5 rails with, POM wheels, Eccentric and common spacers, M5 + M3 hardware.
On investigation, I think that the milled parts could work for the Y-Axis with an appropriate spacer / standoff block. Especially your newer gantry design.
For others interested in a Z-Only - print in place spacers solution, I have added the following and it seems to function as desired, available at printables
like “ron” or a legit acronym name that encapsulates the essence of the v5 experience?
I’ll throw out a few:
MPLP
milled printed LUXURY printer
MPHEP
milled printed High end printer
trochoildal wonder
v1LP
(see #1)
v13D
… that is all I can think of as I type atm I like 1 and 4, but maybe it should be something cool like the ender dragon from minecraft…oh, wait, or maybe something that inpires us to greatness like… the everlasting fdm (everlasting gobstopper from willy wonka?).
the charm
because the 5th time is the charm
pearlite
in metallurgy alternating laminar stacks of ferrite and cemenite in cast irons with high carbon content make pearlite and you mention sandwich and it does the same thing… plus pearls roll on layers at a time.
the pearl
sounds corny like the book, where the dude swims for the giant one.
