As part of the redesign and strengthening of the Gemini 3D, working towards a more production-like model instead of the flimsy proof-of-concept prototype I have printed and assembled one of the new top idler corners.
This is made as a two piece assembly in order to keep the part strong along the print layering. The gantry itself will form a box frame which will then be lowered onto the four vertical corner posts of the frame.
Initial testing is indicating that this corner is a snug fit and very strong. The idlers align well with the idlers on the new flat-bar X axis, so everything is coming together nicely for the new design.
Below is the corner with it’s two extrusions inserted.
