Toranado PGE X-Carriage - Prusa i3 8mm

SummaryToranado Precision Geared Extruder X-Carriage for Prusa i3 w/ 8mm Smooth Rods Update 1-31-2016 - There is now an alternate version of the x-carriage that uses M3 nuts instead of the Brass Knurl nuts. If you'd like to go this route, print tpge-xcarriage-wm3nuts.stl and use that part instead. Update 1-30-2016 - I am also working on a 2-piece solution (No back covers) that is similar to the one that BigCooter did for the 10mm smooth rods. This will also be available for download here shortly. The BigCooter 10mm version is available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1297618 This x-carriage is designed with the following considerations: Utlilizes the Prusa i3 format for 8mm smooth rods placed 45mm apart. A perfect mount for the Toranado Precision Geared Extruder that maximizes Z-axis print height. The TPGE can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1246951 Can be removed or installed onto the printer without disassembly of the x-axis idler or x-motor mount. Contains an integrated X-axis belt holder. Uses the same mounting pattern spacing as the i3 Rework.
