As mine - already agreed to take the "wider" version back and print the smallest one instead. Then we will see. Will be interesting to see what the other will say - two further ones are "on arrival".
I'm confident it will be a good fit.

Olaf Krause here you go buddy, three different sizes, 19.10, 19.15 and 19.20 mm diameter holders.
I suggest you print the 19.10 mm version for this particular customer since they are quite a bit off specs. I will stick with one version on Thingiverse (19.15 mm) since this is an anomaly.
-
Just for reference I just measured mine which are stock Qidi bearings: 18.99 +-0.01 mm all around.
-
Cool - I think I will keep both options for Germany (cheaper shipping for exchange of parts) default the tighter ones.
I think that's a good idea.

Just got the measurements: 18.91 & 18.92. So very slim, mine are 18.99 19.00 same for all my non Qidi ones. In combination with the wider Extruder this might clarify the issue.
Yup that's the reason for sure. Thanks for confirming.
Meanwhile I've updated the design:
Update May 8, 2021
I had one report (thanks Olaf) of the bearings fitment being a little too loose so I made a tiny adjustment to the holders. If you experience the same (carriage not sitting perfectly firmly) you may also have bearings that are a little smaller than specifications and if so, reprint 1.6 which is tighter.
I made this change because I feel it's better the fitment is a little bit tighter than a a little too loose. Print quality doesn't suffer either way. Version number is unchanged.

To be honest you would have the exact same issue on the "Chad mod" which is still on sale, except it is even more loose so it would be even worse.
I would like to see the measurement of the bearings, they must be smaller than spec.
In the meantime I will make an adjustment to 19.15 mm, to me it's better they're a tiny bit too tight instead of too loose. Print quality won't suffer either way but too loose is noisier.
-
The only difference must be the actual dimension of the bearings. They "should" be 19.00 mm according to specs, not surprised they vary a bit, Qidi quality control isn't fantastic.

humebeam do you have further feedback from users of the 1.6 version? I mounted it on my x-plus and it fits perfectly. First customer who mounted it today send a video where it is very loose and the Carriage looks OK not broken or something like this.
My concern is now that there might be a difference in production between the printers. I put the sales for Herkules on hold for the moment until clarified.I am posting this public to be transparent that there might be an issue still. I am waiting for details on the bearings/measures of them used (should be stock ones as ours)
Not heard any feedback which is usually a good sign.
Version 1.5 > 1.6 the bearings clearance went from 19.10 to 19.20 mm. I'm using 1.6 with stock bearings and it's good.
19.15 mm might be the golden midway.

Oooh fancy. That white PC-FR looks awesome.
-
Yes will pick up a PC Magigoo, thanks
-
Need to try PEI myself. I have a couple of Energetic textured, smooth and PEI applied, not tried with PC, scared they get stuck too good. Also one steel plate with PEI Ultem meant for my future Voron
-
Maybe it helps some if you want to print PC version yourself - here where I added support or on spot "Brim"
Brim to reduce warping or have more stable standing support. These nano cylinders are easy to remove.Thanks! Yeah I don't have too much luck with PC, warps every time, went through half a spool Prusament PC blend now.
Smaller prints like the fan duct and other parts are always fine. I've printed on black side with glue, white side, glass. What do you print on?My slice looks similar but has a wide brim all around. So far it looks good, about 40% complete, I upped the temp to 275/110 this time.

Looks awesome
-
Look good with 0.4mm Width - maybe check the STL - Prusa gave an STL error (that can be auto repaired) -
Fixed version uploaded, thanks for the notice
-
Alright checking tonight, cheers.
-
Yup. Version 1.3 posted, should be at least two walls everywhere with a 0.4 mm nozzle with a line width up to 0.48 mm, at least that's what my S3D preview showed:

I'll check my other slicers tonight but should be good.
-
Alright thanks buddy I'll do some adjustments ASAP to improve printability, should be by tonight at the latest.

I am still struggling with the FAN Ducts challenge to print them clean in PC. Was experimenting with Layer Width for external perimeters. Default would by 0.44 but need to go down to 0.29 to get a clean sliced object
Left 0.32mm, right 0.44mm creating tiny holes
~0.3mm creates a big hole left, 0.29mm looks OK everywhere - never printed with that thin perimeter yet
Might be very slicer depending - the above was a Prusa 2.3
humebeam which setting did you use for the fan ducts?
I'm using a line width of 0.40 mm.
Could you point out on a larger picture where the issues are? I think I may need to create a bit thicker walls.
-
humebeam is it mandatory to shorten the BMG lever for the x-PLus as well? with the chad version only the MAX needed the shorter one - same for yours?
Second build - third one ready for prep in the background
The extruder position is identical to Chad's because I wanted cross-design compatibility for fan ducts and so on so if the full size handle fits Chad's X-Plus, it should also fit this.
Got your donation for the builds, much appreciated.
