PLEASE SEE https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2862375
THIS THING SHOULD BE USED FOR REFERENCE ONLY


NEW AS OF 3/24/2018
Updated the "x-axis cable extendomatic" to include a cover due to not being able to use zip ties. This may be a little overkill, everyone's opinions on this are more than welcome. I lost the SolidWorks file for the non-covered version so I'll have to remodel that from the stl if that is the preferred style.

Also I corrected the bolt hole misalignment in the x-axis-carriage-back pointed out by mikefilip here and nath5 on the Prusa forums. Unfortunately this version won't work with previous extension piece.

I also updated the pictures.

NOTE: This will be the last update on this thing. I plan to create a new thing and start with the current revision level of these parts as a sort-of "design release". I'll also separate the Rpi3 parts into it's own thing to avoid some confusion.

NEW AS OF 3/14/20018

Added a cable holder for the x-axis. It is a remix of sodamaexchen's cable holder and jltx's x carriage back plate with belt access. Benefits:

  • Removes the bolt that connects the cable holder to the back plate (which allowed the cable holder to spin pretty easily)

  • Wires pass through the bottom of the x carriage back plate so it can be replaced without having to re-wire everything

  • YOU CAN'T USE CABLE TIES WITH THIS I've been running without cable ties for about a week and I haven't had any issues. If you put cable ties on the x-axis stroke is limited/self-test fails.

I know this documentation is really cluttered and confusing, once I iron everything out and fully vet the designs I'll remove the work in progress tag and clean everything up

NEW AS OF 3/7/2018

Added in version with RPI3 case incorporated into a mostly-stock Einsy mount.

I've been going through some iterations with adding the cable chains from SoundDoc's awesome design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2311596) along with sodamaexchen's remix for the x-axis (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2731943). All credit for the concept and starting point goes out to these two.

I had issues getting everything to fit, especially the z-axis cable chain, so I made a new Einsy mount with cable chain attachments built-in. Everything clips together nicely without additional pieces to be attached to the Einsy mount.

NOTE: This is still a work in progress. My planned revisions include:

  1. POSSIBLE: Incorporate new Raspberry Pi Zero W access hatch

Please let me know if you have any issues or any ideas to improve this design.
