Improvements
X Ends
- Moved the X pulley closer to the X motor to prevent the motor shaft from being bent.
- Improved the X end idler mount to accommodate a misaligned belt and larger idler pulley.
- Increased the stiffness of X end idler mount, however it now requires a 15mm to 15.8mm long dowel pin replacing 14mm pins.
- Improved nut pocket holes.
- Improved selective infill on both X ends.
- Improved fitting of idler mount in the X end idler to ensure best possible alignment.
- This new version is compatible with the previous one (0.50-alpha).
Extruder
- Greatly improved hotend cooling. The cooling fan has been moved and exhaust has been opened.
- Reworked the filament sensor pocket and cover:
- Improved filament path to ease insertion.
- Improved protection of the laser sensor.
- Moved the cover screws to allow a more compact reverse bowden setup.
- Added light leak protection.
- Adjusted clearances.
- Reworked the belt clamps on X carriage to eliminate belt slipping.
- Simplified removal of the X carriage back bottom.
- Improved screw holes on the X carriage back.
- Improved spring tension of the extruder idler
Optional parts
- Reduced the size of filament sensor cover for reverse bowden setup.
- Allow the use of drop-in tee-nuts with the reverse bowden v-slot mounts.
- Updated the BOM for the extruder idler with bearing to use a dowel pin instead of Bondtech shaft.
Other
- Improved BOM, description and images.
- Now on Thingiverse!
- Switch to semantic versioning: semver.org.
Bug fixes
- #17 Centered mounting hole to hold X carriage and exturder body is off by 0.2mm bug.
- #18 Hex nut pocket for POM nut is not tight enough.
- #19 Try to find a way to not have the shroud's hex nut falling down.
- #21 Unable to remove filament from bowden cover when filament sensor kick it because it is the end of the filament.
- #22 Quick assembly image is showing GT2 instead of 2GT.
Compatibility
This extruder and x-ends are matched to each other and cannot be used separately. As a unit, they are completely compatible with stock Prusa MK2.5, MK3, Bear Upgraded MK2.5, and Bear Upgraded MK3.
Parts that needs to be replaced since release 0.50-alpha
Unfortunately, all parts have changed and need to be re-printed.
