All Metal Rear Mounted Z-Braces for Maker Select PLUS 3D Printer

thingiverse

This kit is our cutting-edge design that supersedes the previously popular PLUS 3D Printer Z-brace kit. The new kit features a rear-mounted configuration, providing superior access to the print platform. In our kit, we utilize ball joints to eliminate any tension caused by misalignment between the upper and lower brackets. Off-the-shelf M5 ball rod ends simplify our Z-brace design, making it sleek and streamlined. A convenient feature of our kit is its ability to allow precise adjustment of each Z-rod length. The Z-Brace rod design is based on a turnbuckle principle - each rod extends and contracts when turned clockwise or counterclockwise. Once adjustments are complete, simply tighten the counter nuts at each rod end to eliminate any minor play and secure the adjustment permanently. After tightening, the frame becomes solid and stable.
