Description
I found the principle of the original design great, but I was not happy about the DB connector (pins get easily bent in the DB26HD connector), and I though it was a bit wide...
So I constructed this to fit my Anet A8 - and plan to connect things electrically via GX16 aviation connectors.
The baseplate is designed for the bearing holder at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3102222 - as I had some issues with IGUS DryLin bearings (which were solved with that bearing block). A version B of the baseplate will be added, where there are mounting holes for 2 regular SC8UU blocks on the top X-rod.
The Pitan Direct Drive carriage is made for a mirrored version of the Pitan Extruder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2728600)
STL files for the E3Dv6 bowden are not quite ready yet - but will be added soon
The holes for the nuts for the belt holder might seem a bit small - but I found, that I had to reduce the size when using nylock nuts (as they apparently is a bit smaller than the ordinary nuts).
20180929 - Beltholder v2 added - this one works for me on X idlers with 45mm center distance. Also found first test print to be a tiny bit loose in the tightening mechanism - and is currently printing a new version, which hopefully will fit better.
