No problem, here they are.
DXF'sXSpringHolder - 6mm Acrylic - Used for X and Y Axis
XSpringHolderBase - 3mm Acrylic - Used for X and Y Axis
ZSpringHolderBottom - 6mm Acrylic - Used if you do not want the Y spring hole
ZSpringHolderBottomWithY - 6mm Acrylic - Used if you do want the Y spring hole
ZSpringHolderTop - 6mm Acrylic
SpringsX and Y Axis - 0.375dia - Mcmaster part: 9665K25
Z Axis - 0.437dia - Mcmaster part: 9665K91
The spring holes tool size was adjusted using cambam until I got a nice press fit. You will need to drill the holes in the plates in order to mount them. Watch out when placing the X axis spring mount on the Z plate to make sure the gantry plate has the needed travel.
- This picture shows the gantry travel issue warning and labels the mounts.
- This picture labels the other mounts.
Everything uses M4 hardware except the ZSpringHolderBottom[WithY] plates which use M5 hardware.
