Description
Enhanced Z rod grease contact bushing caps for the Elegoo Centauri Carbon. These grease cap bushings feature easy application port reciprocals that interface with the stock grease tube originally included with the Centauri Carbon. The integrated grease ports allows for fast easy and precise application of grease to the vertical Z feed rods. The bushings also feature high compacity chambers keeping grease isolated to the rod while retaining optimal lubricant on all the Z rods contact points and preventing debris off surfaces. These bushings will decrease resistance and lower wear while keeping the rods cool and accurate with optimal longevity.
STL includes all 3 rod caps and retainer joint sets. No need to mirror or flip the parts. If needed split the model and remove as needed. Print in STL current configuration.
Print caps upside down at resolution of .02 - .014 (Already upside down in STL)
Support type: Normal
Enable support with parts upside down when done you will only need to pop the support plugs from the screw holes using the 2mm hex wrench. (Do safely with allocated force)
UPDATE: I forgot to mention these caps have a left side, right side, and rear side although the orientation will make no difference or cause any issue if installed in the wrong configuration aside barely noticeable aesthetic presentation.
Please if you find any errors or possible enhancements feel free to remix the design and or rebuild it, thanks (Will upload GD&T Blueprints upon request)
Elegoo is awesome! Thanks
