Description
Oldham Z-Axis Coupler/Coupling (3 piece, all-in-one print) replaces standard flex couplings. 2 different versions are available in the files, which can either be printed altogether in a single print or separately should you prefer to print each piece individually.
This unique coupler design enables give-room for slight changes in the rod position and provides tolerance for misalignment, preventing binds and printer damage.
Fits standard 8mm Rods and 5mm motors as found on various TEVO, Anet, Creality, etc. type printers.
The center piece needs to be able freely move between both sections of the coupler, so provide a very slight gap in space for "give".
Tightens down with metal or plastic M3 screws.
My work is free of charge, but any tips are very much appreciated!
