I got a bug in my drawers to upgrade my printers to full linear… I print so much I keep wearing out the bearing wheels and have to replace them more regularly than I care for.

I’ve been working on and testing this design, and am very happy with is so far. I’m cranking out prints at 150mm/s with the stock hotend. I have a new heat brake and block to install that should get me up to 250mm/s.

I’ll be redesigning the parts once more before I release, but this should be a full retrofit that reuses most of the original parts, and preserves the original part offsets so you don’t lose any build area space. The final design will be a lot cleaner and more refined than blocky test parts. I’ll be designing and releasing my own hotend cooling system as well that will incorporate a second 5015 blower for parts cooling.

More to follow!
