First and foremost credit has to go to Wickedfog for a great design and a very simple design. I have modified the design slightly making it easier to complete the
...Show more project. Thanks Wickedfog...
The L brackets have been modified (slightly taller with printed threads) from the original L brackets so that common 500mm length carbon fiber tubing (12mm OD -10mm ID) can be used. The 6mm threads were added over the original design so that threaded inserts are not needed on each end of the L brackets. This allows for the M6 shoulder bolts to tighten snuggly without any issues of stripping of the threads.
Use two part epoxy to glue the inserts into the carbon fiber making sure that each 500mm carbon fiber tube has a left-handed threaded insert and a right-handed threaded insert glued into each end. This will allow the turning of the carbon fiber to lengthen or shorten the tubing to fit the L brackets mounted on the Printer.
From the original design I am using (4) L brackets instead of (2) this eliminating tapping and threading the bottom of the CR-10s or CR-10 frame. The brackets are secured using M5 T-Nuts and M5 machine screws.
