My older XY blocks printed in PLA can't take the heat from ABS printing. So it's time to print some new ones. See YouTube Videohttp://youtu.be/VMMDmB5zu-8?list=UUUmGaj_uqlwc7uhsAm0Dr1A
Work from the included Solidworks files if you need to change anything. I originally rebuilt the excellent work from alan89 as a parametric model than changed some features that should help with strength.
Technical
- print %1 bigger
- 100% infill (solid
- print main part with the flat side touching the build platform and no support.
- Epoxy is used as glue. Sand bushing hole till it can be lightly pressed in. Add epoxy from the inside to keep bushing in place.
This was designed off of work from alan89:
