Y axis full setup - ender3v2 and similar

included with patronage -------- update July 2024 more user-friendly endstop mount -------- This is a fully redesigned Y axis setup. I have made a wheel version of it, but the rail setup is the perfected one. This will allow any nema 17 motor up to 48mm long on the Y axis. The rail model was designed so that the belt is parallel to itself and perfectly flat for better precision, as the slightly triangular shape of the belt Amy not have a perfectly linear movement reducing precision. ---------...

Y motor mount for nema17 42-48motor and smaller - revisited

Fully redesigned motor mount on ender3pro/v2 for up to 4248 motor (and smaller)
Optionally you can add a "F695-2RS Bearing 5x13x4 mm" (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800905868523.html) inside it not sure if it helps but it worked.

The M5x8 or longer have to be socket head, they barely fit but with a small push they did, button head are a bit wider and won't fit

Y tensioner for 4040 (revised) - for printer similar to ender3v2, ender3max neo

The front of the extrusion must have M5 threaded holes (like ender3v2 and ender3max neo), not sure ender3pro has those tapped, but should be easy

Dual Y Linear Rail on ender3pro/3v2 style printer with 4040 extrusion - revisited

I had a couple people with binding issue with the previous model so I created a slit model that interlocks loosely just to help with installation. Playing it safe.

To which I also added an ADXL mount by request (15mm spacing screw point), so should work with most generic ADXL and likely the BTT usb adxl v2

Had another request to make it back a single piece version of it with the adxl, so I also added an extra 0.1mm tolerance to possibly take care of the binding issue on some set...

SquirrelFan - 5015 fan (updated Dec 2024)

included with patronage --- dec 2024 update : added different wire out position on the fan case and FYI the Apollo2025 has full support for a symmetrical fan setup ---- WARNING: I will not be responsible for any injuries! Be warned we are talking about fans that can spin at 20K~30K RPM The blades I designed are attached on top and bottom by a ring for strength. But if you design a fan blade like standard 5015 that are only attached at the bottom, I would be afraid of them flying off from the h...

Ender3 "v1" - with 4020 Y extrusion - Dual Linear rail - PROTOTYPE

Dual Linear rail setup This will work without the Y tensioner or big motor BUT you will lose some Y move without the Y tensioner. BIG motor upgrade is 100% optional, stock setup should work fine, just need to relocated the endstop, file is included HOWEVER the belt grabber is questionable, may work or may still need some work, and only through your testing can it be finalized fully (I do not have an ender3v1 to test this) It will work without the belt grabber, and have the belt attached like ...

Coming soon! printed 5015 fans - and symmetrical version

This uses a 3 wire brushless motor meant for micro drones, so does complicate things a bit, but will simplify it all down for you.

Weight about 22~23grams (including screws), so about the same as a 5015

There is a small downside this is not as quiet as a 5015, even at similar air flow. but does allow a LOT more air than a 5015 6K rpm ( like gdstime), like 4~5times more, and symetrical setup

The large opening version should have less pressure but more airf...

There is a wonderfull community on my discord server, and it's also easier for me to provide support, as image can be exchanged very easily.
It's not just about the Apollo, but we also help each other with 3d printing, with no drama or mean sarcastic comments.

Motor block cover - update for wheels setup (ender3/pro/3v2/3maxneo)

Will likely work on many non ender3 printer as well, as most bed slinger share that X axis setup.

The linear rail required an updated block to relocate the endstop but the wheels setup didn't, so had not made one.

But then you'd be missing on a few goodies. you can now use accessories that mounts to the left side of the block like this: (they are in the Apollo zip file, but will include them here)

Y tensioner revisited - GT2 20T toothed idler upgrade


In the 3d printing forums I've hear multiple times that toothed idler are better than the smooth counterpart, and that idea seems to hold up logically. So here are the printed parts for that upgrade. wether you have rails or wheels on Y. And the ender3 with a 4020 extrusion profile has not been forgotten, but is untested.

These will work with smooth idler as well, GT2 20T smooth idler, and stock ender (the bearing that's in two parts with a side wall, similar to a thick...

Ender3 4248 Y motor upgrade

Tested and working.

The ender3 wasn't getting as much love, but that's over, here is a dedicated mod for the ender3 (not the 3pro or 3v2, but 3 "v1") which has a different smaller Y extrusion, a 4020 instead of 4040 found on the 3pro/3v2, and required a tricky setup.

for the ender3pro/3v2, 4040 extrusion I need to rework it, but it is fully functional (you'll find it in the Apollo zip, this is also included in the Apollo zip, under the "Printer mods" folder)

New Y linear rail upgrade - MGN12H

Single piece easy print, the old one isn't bad in anyway, but I think this is a bit easier to install, plus looks better. If you are coming from my old design, same M5, nothing new. but no reason to upgrade from my old design, unless you just feel like it.

- (8) Eight M3x6 for the linear rail carriage
- (4) four M5x12 For the bed mount (those are not the same as stock screws, reason for shorter screws is to keep as much Z, longer screws will hit the rail) View Post
