Today I bring you some improvements for Anet E-10, all of them related with Y axis. I have changed the H, that is the support that sustain the heated bed, I also change the heated bed for a silicone one and finally I have added linear guides to Y axis.
New H
The H is a pillar on the Y axis of a cartesian printer, because is the support of the heated bed.
This is the second time that I have changed this piece, because the stock one is awful and is too soft.
The second one was like a rock, but the weight is too high, almost 500 grams, so the inertial movements were huge and ghosting appeared.
The new H´s weight is only 100 grams, so the weight reduction is huge. Continue reading
I think that this is an essential improvement, because is a two in one improvement. You have a more stable x axis structure, and you change the stock carriage.
You can download the STL files here, and has been made by a partner on Anet E-10 telegram group. He takes in consideration all our suggestions, one example, is to design the right holder with holes, that is very useful if you have a dipstick longer than the recommended one.
You can see the result here:
To mount this improvement on your printer you need:
8 mm dispticks with a length of 334 mm (I had dipsticks of 355 mm)
Igus linear rods, this kind of rods have two advantages comparing with ball bearing rods, the first one is the noise and the second one is that Igus rods are self lubricated.
