Introduction
=================
WARNING: Prototype!
---------------------------
In an attempt to upgrade my Mendel to a MendelMax alike X axis (where the X belt is 90 degrees rotated like the Pruse belt path) I redesigned the X-ends to hold a 22mm trapezoid or ACME nut.
Aditionally, I added a tensioner system in order to be able to modify belt tension on the X axis without abusing the carriage attachment for that.
The goal is to use the original Mendel length of smooth rod. As such the block is a fair bit longer than some of the MendelMax designs I have seen; this allows the tensioner system to be placed on it as well.
Details
=======
- Modelled in **SolidWorks 2012**
- Uses 2 LM8UU bearings
- Bearings are clamped down with 2x 3mm screws
- Rods are clamped down with 2x 4mm screws
- Uses 4x 608 bearings for the belt path
Why not in OpenSCAD? Because prototyping and fitting things together is a breeze in SW - as soon as I work out the issues with this desig
