Tim sayeth: Nick, a fellow MiRUG member, has had a Darwin running since forever, and he's had lots of trouble with his X axis / extruder carriage. We've put a fair amount of work into adapting the nicest (IMHO) Mendel X axis to Darwin.

Suggested Improvements

  • Move the idler closer to the carriage so that a shorter belt can be used. Ideally, the same belt that is used for the Darwin can be used here.
  • Move the idler up, so that the bottom of the belt does not deflect at the carriage.
  • Add a place to attach the y limit flags to the x-motor-end piece.
