[M] Roller and bed assembly for Small

A project log for Liquid Laminate Lithography 3D Printer [gd0105]

The best of resin with the best of filament; is such a 3D printer possible?

As you can see, I've redesigned the Z assembly to use the T12 leadscrews instead of the ballscrews. 5M 20T pulleys are used because they're cheaper than 3M from the AliExpress seller I found for some unknown reason. For bed alignment, I'm opting for 2-point 1 rotation levelling. There should be 1cm of clearance to remove the M8 star bolts. 

A SuspenseSmall roller assembly has also been created. 

The current allowable Z height is 334mm for the Suspense and 185mm for the SuspenseSmall. These could be increased by 7mm if the rails were 7mm longer. The Small footprint height is expected to be around 500mm.

Being able to share components reduces the additonal modelling time for the SuspenseSmall.

Just found out that the distance between the back of the Z rails is 370mm for the SuspenseSmall. I'm going to have to think of a new solution.
