Printer Upgrades Mendelmax by Ultibots

This is a placeholder for all of the files needed for my 3D printer updates. This covers: Hot End upgrade to E3Dv6 Direct (from J-Head) Y Axis upgrade to remove some wobble with the Drylin-Extrusion design Printable T-Slot nuts Enclosure for entire printer to help maintain better environment for printing Found a t-slot scad generator on thingiverse; can't remember where. it was a simple script and worked for my needs. I've updated it with a basic additional functionality I needed. Sadly I haven't added comments to it but its simple enough to quickly figure out. Made my own Y-axis rod holder design quickly done via OpenScad. Will need to print up 8 of those in total (they sandwhich the 8mm rod). I'm missing the lm8uu bearing holders for my y-axis plate - will add when they are designed up. I actually found a cheap chunk of 5/16" 304 Stainless rod at Fastenal (~$6 for 80 inches) and will be utilizing that with the lm8uu bearings. I didn't expect the rod to fit very tightly but apparently 5/16 rod is almost exactly interchangeable with 8mm (they are 1/16 of a mm different OD). This is not a precision ground rod and as such might be prone to inaccuracy. However I think it'll be a huge upgrade from the current situation where my Drylin allows a little over a 1/16th of an inch movement on the Z axis of the platen. So when the printer shoves the plate around and the X axis gets whipping around the platen can literally shake up/down at its edges. No wonder I get some waves here and…
