Difference between revisions of "Easy Mendel Open Y Carriage (w detachable print bed) (Q48381)"

This open Y carriage is "designed" to allow an ordinary clothes iron to be used for heating the bed. It can be easily removed (when cold), plus it makes connecting and tensioning the y axis belts heaps easy. Originally, I had a few more ideas of where it was going, but as I don't have many special tools, and I wanted to print more than bother too much, I ended up with this. As it has mainly been a hack without a clear path, I didn't take heaps of photos on the way. It would be easier to build with a drill press, although with a drill press there are probably better designs anyway. Tools required are a hacksaw and a hand drill. Steady hand optional.
