Summary
Recently stumbled upon this terrific set of X-Axis ends for a P3Steel printer. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2088585) Since the P3Steel uses the same 17MM spacing on the leadscrew and vertical smooth rods I wanted to print these for my old beater Tronxy P802M. The only problem is horizontal rod spacing. Most printers like the Anet and P3Steel have 45mm spacing between the X-axis horizontal rods. The Zonestar and Tronxy are 44mm. This would be a problem as I want to use my original carriage.
After looking at the above linked Thing I see the designer was kind enough to include the STEP files for his parts. This was just what I needed. After importing the STEP files into Fusion 360 modifying the rod spacing was a snap.
So as a courtesy to the original creator and to give back to the community here is my set of X-axis ends specifically for the Tronxy and Zonestar P802 printers.
The only change from the original Thing is to move the holes so they are 44mm apart on the horizontal carriage rods.
You will also print out the tensioner parts as detailed on the original Thing’s page (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2088585)

Print with the top of the part facing down. Be sure to use supports. The automatic supports generated in Simplify 3D worked perfectly.
