"Everything will be alright as long as you have your -ing potato." - Mr. Tulip, to Mr. Pin, The Truth, by Terry Pratchett
"See a pin and pick it up, and all day long you’ll have a pin!" - Stanley Howler, Going Postal, by Terry Pratchett
A full pin mod for the AB motor mounts, XY gantry joints and front idler tensioners for the Voron v0.2
- AB motors mounted solidly to the frame, meaning no more shunting them back and forth with a bulky tensioning nut.
- Tension is now applied through an M3 screw in the front idlers, and ALL bearing stacks run on pins rather than screws.
- MGN7H (stock) and MGN9C X rails are supported, WITH NO TRAVEL LOSS.
- Pins are standard 3mm off-the-shelf sizing, for those unable to cut their own
- LazyCam Support
- MGN9H X RAIL BETA, WITH NO TRAVEL LOSS
- Nema 17 AB Motor Mount Beta
- Fysetc X light gantry compatibility (use standard XY joints)
- Mamabot.io X light gantry support
- Nema 14 - 35mm Shaft Motor Mount Beta
- NEW Live Idler XY joints / Tension Idler Beta
Note - for LazyCam idlers you will require Some extra printed parts to complete

NEW Pin Hole Sizing for tulip should mean NO MORE REEMING! but if you still have trouble fitting your pins then reffer to this guide

CHANGE LOG
11/12/24
CAD V34 release
update for a missed pin hole re-size ( parts affected - XY left upper joint & XY left upper MMU joint )
AB Mounts for MGN7H have been removed in favour of having MGN9C as the new standard - reason, MGN9C will work for MGN7H and gives and easy path to upgrade to MGN9C with no changes to be made to printed parts - also reduces part veriance for a more cohesive mod.
STL's for parts affected by the pin hole error have been updated
STL's for MGN7H AB Mounts have been removed
01/12/24
CAD V33 release
updated the pin cutting tool to give 18mm pins (as this is now the standard)
STL's have been updated
28/11/24
CAD v32 release
small amendments to supporting drawing
removal of 16mm pin tension idlers - in favour of better 18mm pin version (also to simplify and cause less confusion)
NEW addition of Nema 14 - 35mm shaft CAD and STL's
NEW addition of LIVE IDLER CAD for XY joints to have solid toothed idler and live pins STL's have been added
10/11/24
CAD v31 release
Added umbilical Cover Plates (with + without Bowden Hole) and MMU versions
Added Picobilical Strain Relief Beta (MMU)
04/11/24
CAD v29 release
House keeping in CAD - Created componants for all bodies, Some name corrections, Reduced Materials
18mm Pin version of the front Idler Tensioners have been added for those who are struggling to find 16mm Pins, These also have LazyCam support these are also recomended to those wishing to use GT3 belts
X Light Gantry (MamaBot.io) Beta is now included
Note - This is NOT compatible with the Fysetc X Light Gantry, instead use standard XY Joints
Nema 17 AB Motor Mount Beta added for testing
ReadMe's added for some folders - please make sure you read them
STL's added
BOM amended + PDF format added
ALL STL's updated to latest CAD version
ALL Pin Holes have a new size (this should work for a better fit withoit the reeming)
16/09/24
CAD v28 release
Both Standard and LazyCAM static bodies have has the access hole size changed (for the front fixing into the extrusion) so that longer screws can be used and dropped in from the top.
A NEW motor "Pully Tool" has been made to measure from the motor tops rather than from the top of the shaft
BOM has been updated to show "Washers / Shims" for the bearing stacks
XY_Upper_Joint Fixings changed from M3x6mm to M3x8mm on CAD
PIN GUIDE has been added to help users get the best from TULIP
MGN9H BETA (yes H) has been added for those wanting to use this type of rail setup. All printed parts needed are in the STL's frolder MGN9H.
Note - A 160mm Rail is required for full travel
04/09/24
CAD v27 release
Amended Pin hole depth on parts
- Top_Mount_A_MGN9C_x1
- Top_Mount_B_MGN9C_x1
Motor "Pully Tool" has now been added to help get them in the right place
Picture of the tool has been added to the PICS folder
STL's have been updated for the latest change for the parts affected
24/08/24
CAD v26 release
CAD names have been updated to be consistant with the STL names and the [a] for accent colour marking has also been added. Corrected a mistake where the Voron Logo was mirrored on Mid_Mount_A_x1.
STL's Updated to latest Names denoting the [a] for accent colours. corrected Mid_Mount_A_x1 STL
08/08/24
CAD v25 release
Idler tensioners static body had printability update to make B side easier to print (less chance to warp off the bed)
tensioner upers had changes to work with new static bodies
Tensioner lowers captive nut minor geometry changes - better pre-engagement with tension screw - reduced hole size after captive nut to act as tension screw "nylock"
LazyCam static bodies added for those wishing to use the LazyCam system (type C)
10/07/24
CAD v24 release
Idler tensioners static body is now one piece and printed on its side
Idler tensioners lock screw is now static with slot in tensioner parts
XY joints had some holes resized and some minor corrections
Spacers - new fillet chamfer design (fillamfer)
AB Motor mounts plates and mid parts have locating tabs to secure each other together for more secure umbilical plate attachment
Tools added - Bearing insert tool & Drill jig for access to tensioner locking screw
