Some fixes to popular ender 3 switchwire conversions
Triano and DaRk_dOg have produced an Ender 3 switchwire conversion mod. I'vew found a few issues during construcion and I thought I'd share my fixes
Before attempting an Ender 3 to switchwire mod, check your frame is not bent. This will save you a lot of time later when things don't line up.
-
- Added modified rear deck for Y motor mod. Compatible with V2 and Pro Y rail.
-
- Changed XZ blocks for clearance, they don't sit flat to the extrusion
- Added a T-slot version with slightly differenc clearances
- Added my Y-idler fix to very weak part
-
- 2 Fixed XZ blocks where the spacer isn't long enough
- added some 5mm ABS washers in case M5x35 BHCS aren't available
- Added Y motor mount for V2 with the pulley reversed, so a 48mm stepper like an E3D High Torque can be used, or the voron spec LDOs of simialr specification and size.
