Description
On Prusawire 2025.B1 is belt routed on top of frame where could colide with toolhead. And during discussion with others this idea was born. Frame extension moved to frame and belts is crossing throug them. Also ball bearing idlers were replaced with GT2 16T idlers. This mod also add option to tension belts similar way as on Prusa MK3 by screws at steppers. Toolhead mount is modified from Voron Trident.
For this mod you have to adujust the configs, and invert the direction for the X and Z stepper!
Files are prepared for MK4 and MK3 frame. In case of MK3 frame XZ gantry is moved 1mm forward to avoid colision with heads of PSU bolts. Same solution will be used in Prusawire B2.
I have printed these parts from ABS+. 0,4mm 4 perimeters, 5 top and bottom layers, 40% infill.
Test frame is being buld at this moment.
Changes:
-frame spacer mk4 v1.1 -Increased wall thickness at bolt holes to prevent split that could occur.
