Hardware for Cyclone-PCB-Factory

Version 2.0a

Adressing all the issues from the original design, and implementing improvements by yOPERO, Martin Zabojnik and others.

More robust design with tougher parts:
Better holders for the linear bearings (vibration made them slide away)
Reinforced nut/screw holders
Improved gears with smoother edges
Attachment for a vacuum cleaner
Better scalability (parameterized design)
Using a Dremel 200 as the spindle motor
Integrated endstop holders

Work in progress. Pending tasks:

Improve vacuum cleaner attachment (make it detachable)
Finish protective covers for the gears
Endstop integration for Z
Better plastic-saving holes for the X frames
Improve the nut holder in the X carriage (with the same spring mechanism as in Y)
Re-design the Z carriage after testing performance

The new design tries to be more parameterized:
