Part I and J: Y-axis bearing support |
Bearings and tension rods in place. |
This part of the build constructs the bearing system which moves the bed along the y-axis. The original specification for the bed size of the WhiteAnt printer is 8-9/16" x 9-1/16". I've increased it to 12" x 17". In doing this, I've increased the difficulty in keeping the y-axis travel along this plane not only level, but also in keeping it perpendicular to the x-axis rail. I should be able to correct any imperfections since I plan to add an aluminum bed mounted in the same fashion as the heated bed on a Prusa Mendel.
