I have changed a lot of the wooden parts on my i3v 10" printer with plastic. I am really happy with the X-carriage printed in PETG & the wire cage around my electronics. I ran a 14 hour print last night with the new PETG printed X-carriage without any problems. Here are some photos.IMG_9616_800x600.jpgIMG_9669_800x600.jpgIMG_9650_800x600.jpgIMG_9617_800x600.jpgIMG_9621_800x600.jpg

Very nice. Care to share the files for the parts that you printed?

What is that on the end of the top rail at +X?

[PyramidDave]

That one I did not put on thingiverse. Maybe I should. I had not decided whether it was a good idea or not. It is 6 pieces slid over the V-slot to shield the limit switch wires. Probably could have made it in less pieces, but was not sure how long it wanted to be when I designed it. Here is a better photo of it.IMG_9670_800x600.jpg

Ah, I see. I used these to cover and protect the wires that run through the v-slot: http://openbuildspartstore.com/slot-cover-panel-holder/

They should all be in the makerfarm group on thingiverse located here. http://www.thingiverse.com/groups/makerfarm-i3v/things or here is a link to all of my designs on thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/GeoDave/designs

Maybe next time I order from there, I will buy some of those. I would especially like to run the X-motor wires through there. I am currently running my X-motor wires across the top. They would not reach going underneath. I saw a design that someone had on thingiverse that is similar to what you showed a link to, but it seemed a little loose on the V-Slot to me & thought it might rattle.

Yes, I have my X motor wires running down the bottom slot of the top rail, held in by one of those covers. Can't put them in the top slot, because the cover interferes with the carriage wheels. I have my X switch wires running down the top slot of the bottom rail, under another cover. I set my bed zero point to be bed all the way back (away from you as you face the front of the machine) and X zero to the left. So my X switch is over by the X motor.

What it looks like. .jpg

Here is my pegasus. i have had it for a few weeks and been very happy with what it can print. Everything in Orange PLA (hatchbox pla) is printed on it and have had minimal failed prints.

Nice setup! What enclosure are you using for your RAMPS board and power supply?
