This is a little device for shifting your X axis drive belt away from the machined block that it normally rubs against.
It comes in two parts:
- X Roller - A friction fitting support structure for mounting the wheel
- X Roller Wheel - A wheel with a lip to keep the band tracking properly
A full set of two supports and two wheels can be printed using the "X Roller Set.stl" file
In addition you will require the following hardware:
- 2 x 10mm or 12mm M3 machine screw
- 2 x M3 locking nut (Or 4 standard M3 nuts like I have used in the picture.)
Assembly:
- Print a set of parts.
- Push a machine screw through a wheel, and then screw the thread into the hole in the support so that the wheel is on the same side as the two prongs for the support.
- Put the locking nut on the back of the support.
- Adjust so that the wheel rotates freely, but the machine screw remains fixed.
- Push prongs into the holes on the back of the X-Axis mounting block so that the wheel depresses the X-Axis belt slightly.
- Repeat from step 2, placing the second support and wheel on the other side.
Note: Change your printer's maximum X travel to account for the wheel on the right of the print head. I had to reduce my print area by 8mm to 192mm.
