X-Carriage FreeCAD or STEP file needed

General LulzBot TAZ

I would like to modify the TAZ 4 X-Carriage and would need either a FreeCAD model or a STEP file of the latest X-Carriage found here:

Can someone please post a FreeCAD or STEP file for me?

Thanks, Ross

Thanks Orias, but I was wanting the latest version 2 of the X Carriage…i.e. x_carriage_v2.0

Any chance that you can get that version? :slight_smile:

Thanks, Ross

Looking to see what’s available locally, if we have the source file we’ll post it on our development server and link it here.

Any luck in finding the file? I need to make a small change and print it out this weekend if possible…

Thanks! Ross

Have not seen it yet. It may not be available anymore.

Here’s one converted from the STL file. It’s not the origional step file, but it should be identical for the dimensions and geometry.

Piercet - thanks for the help and posting this, but it still doesn’t work for me. I can modify the file now in my CAD software, but then it doesn’t allow me to output the modified back to a STL file to print. Evidently, I still need the original step or any other original CAD file that I can bring into CREO for modification.

BTW - my modification is very simple…I just want to reverse the 2 clamping screws from pointing upwards on the stock to pointing downwards, since I have the autoleveling hardware attached to the x carriage below the clamps. The setup is working ok, it just would be nice to be able to clamp and unclamp the belt from above instead of from underneath.
