# More robust Voron Switchwire belt routing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This mod was created because the original stock parts didn't work well for me.
|
||||||
|
The major part are the moded stepper cages. The stepper cages got tilted usually
|
||||||
|
during tensioning and leading to the axle of the stepper not being parallel
|
||||||
|
with the horizontal plane, which lead to yawning of the belt and increased wear
|
||||||
|
and tear of the belt. Additionaly, the cages parts a and b had the tendency
|
||||||
|
to open up in the bottom, especially when the tensioning screw is one or two mm too long.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The modded version has a through-screw in the bottom and additional screw slot
|
||||||
|
on the top to attach it to the vertical extrusion, to help with proper leveling
|
||||||
|
of the stepper axle. You'd probably be able to address these issues without
|
||||||
|
if you were careful and knew about them. Using this design is just much faster.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Additional mods ##
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The **xz blocks** have a slot for M5 button head screw that can be used to fix
|
||||||
|
tilting of the blocks w.r.t. the plane defined by the X gantry extrusion.
|
||||||
|
The original blocks have already some measures to prevent this, but apparently
|
||||||
|
those were not sufficient in my case (I was worried about tightening the screws
|
||||||
|
too much, as the plastic already started to give and yet there was still a bit of
|
||||||
|
tilting play).
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The **upper xz** blocks/supports were modded just to help more carefuly define
|
||||||
|
in what position and orientation the blocks should stay. These have the least effect, IMO.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With these, I had printed almost 400 hours without any belt-related issues and
|
||||||
|
the belts look still fresh, no signs of fraying.
|
||||||
|
There exist also similar unofficial mods on Voron discord addressing similar issues
|
||||||
|
but I think this is the most exhaustive version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Print Instructions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Print Settings:** Standard Voron PIF sttings -- at least 40 percent infill, 4 perims, 5 solid layers top and bottom
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Quantities:** Quantities are noted in the filenames -- each part needs to be printed only in single copy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
Install should be fairly straightforward, the naming of the parts should follow the original naming,
|
||||||
|
so you could follow the SW manual.
|
||||||
|

||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
Please note that the last picture contains an old revision of the upper XZ block (that was
|
||||||
|
reducing the Z travel), but the provided version installs the same way and does not
|
||||||
|
reduce the Z travel.
|
||||||
|
Generally speaking, I suggest tightening the screw attaching the stepper to the vertical extrusion
|
||||||
|
as a very last step.
