No bearing on the nozzle, just cooling holes

Out of the box thinking is easier when you never fitted in the box to begin with.

I'm using the original end stops, but I may follow the same route with replacing the Z-stop... being a newb, I'm wondering if the z-stop should work from the top or just home to the bottom... it looks like it can be programmed to work either way, but I'm not sure the magnetic stops are accurate enough\
@TDD... Great job on the CAD work and sharing your work! Learning CAD is my next step. I never thought of scrapping the Z screw plate, so you just made more work for me! LOL... great idea though!
@Everyone else... congratulations for jumping on the FrankenCube wagon!!

Any chance the Cubex Duo can be converted to have two independent X carriages? I need a new printer for testing IDEX support in RepRapFirmware and I haven't time to build one from scratch.

Ok, I'll set it up from the top in that case. I'll order a normal switch for it instead of using the magnetic switch. I'll read back through, but I'm going to use your drawing to make an aluminum x-screw plate if you linked it. I had a heck of a time finding aluminum to make my build plate... and it's not the straightest piece. I'm going to rebuild it as well as soon as I get it running.

Are any of you guys rebuilding the Cubex printers replacing the extruder assembly and living in the UK who wouldn't mind parting with it?

I just got first print from the machine using the 0.7 mm nozzle. Small PLA parts stick to the build plate without glue, and breaks off pretty easily at the end, but long narrow parts warp. I'm trying another print with glue now. There's a bit of Z wobble I attribute to the bouncing of the cantilevered bed. It should improve a bit when the enclosure is in place. The Z=0 switch seems to work well.
Leveling the bed is a little strange. Ordinarily, I would level at the two back of the bed screws, then level the single screw at the front. You can't access the front screw because it's covered by the bed plate, so you have to set the zero position near the front screw, then move the extruder carriage back and adjust the two rear screws for level/zero.

I don't plan to use the original extruders, but I honestly can't see a reason to keep them... I was trying to find a way to use them as bowens.

As you can tell, I like reusing the existing cables as much as possible.
