![]() * Add files for Ploopy top without bearing sockets - These files were created in Rhino by deleting the surfaces that made up the bearing sockets and patching the holes that were left - This is a good base for the BTU top or any other mods people want to make * Add BTU mod top piece v3 - This is the first full version of the BTU mod I created. - v1 and v2 were just test pieces that mounted to the front screw holes of the trackball to check clearances. They weren't really a usable top as they didn't have anything other than the ball well. - This part has been test printed on an Ender 3 and works well. * Rename STEPs folder to STEP * Add BTU mod v4 - This is a full remake compared to v3, which was designed in Rhino. To make it more accessible for contributions, it's been redone in FreeCAD. This means you can edit it with a free program as well as making it parametric. The positions of the BTUs can be edited by changing the values in the spreadsheet embedded in the CAD file. - These parts haven't yet been test printed * Add README for BTU mod * Add more detail to mod README - Print and assembly tips - Some images to show what the mod actually is and what to cut off the secondary buttons * Rearrange bearing distributor list - It didn't need to take up so many lines - Also added Bosch's contact locator tool to make it easier for people to find other distributors, as suggested by /u/d4baller |
