Thermal Simulation of Stepper Gaskets

These are some thermal simulation results of the top surface of an ABS rear motor mount, with no gasket, a 2mm PTFE gasket, and a 2mm cork gasket respectively…

Monolith X EndStop

X-Endstop Support - Gantry Development

The X-endstop is also gantry-mounted, so it's crucial to force the Y homing first. I want to keep this a single-piece design, similar to the Y-endstop.

Planned Gantry Changes

Planned Gantry Update Changes

X/Y end-stop toggle, BOM cleanup, easier stepper install, better bearing fit, SLM Z clips, and design tweaks for a simpler, cleaner build.

CNC Monolith Gantry

Milled Kit Progress - Gantry Development

The kits are likely gonna be 9mm 2WD/AWD since the inclusion of 2WD parts only adds a negligible cost. It doesn't warrant making separate versions for both which would leave people without a convenient upgrade path…

Modified Y endstop

Official X Endstop Support - Update Preview

With the huge variety of XY joints with different dimensions (printed, sheet metal, milled, SLM, 6mm, 9mm, normal, flipped, 3 holes, 4 holes) paired with vastly different toolhead designs and switch placements, there's no chance to support toolhead mounted switches officially…

Stepper Insulation - Printed Gantry Tip

Many of us struggle with melted motor mounts, and these spacers can help us get away with higher chamber temps and/or stepper currents without switching to a more exotic filament with a higher HDT…

Z-belt pins

Flying gantry Z-belt pins - RC2

Today I looked at the possibility of implementing the same Z-belt pin method, that's present in the CNC kits into the sheet metal one…
