Description
I made this as I couldn't find where someone has created brackets to fit a 52mm spindle to V1 Engineering's Lowrider CNC v3.
Printed in PLA with 4 layers, 25% triangular infill. Rings have a 2mm gap and shouldn't be completely closed when fully tightened. I use 40mm x m5 bolts to secure.
Holds the spindle snugly, but is untested in use as at May 2023. The bottom of the spindle looks a little low (meaning the gantry will be high) when making cuts. I may only use the top 2 brackets to raise the relative height of the spindle (and therefore keep the gantry as low as possible during cuts)
Design issue is that the bracket may limit cooling fan effectively. Raising the spindle will alleviate some of this.
I've added the fusion files so feel free to use and improve - just link your versions so that others can benefit too.
