AM8 RAMPS + TL Smoothers mount (2040)

thingiverse

After purchasing TL smoothers, I endeavored to integrate them into my printer, but discovered that no such design existed yet... So, I measured this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839586, courtesy of user printaway, for which I am grateful! Following extensive designing, I produced the first prototype and was thrilled with its success! To mount the screws onto the extrusions, I utilized the following parts: 3x M5x10, 3x M5x12, and 6x M5 square nuts. For attaching other components such as Arduino and MOSFETs, I employed random-length M3 and M2.5 screws (and nuts). Note that smoothers are secured by precise measurements; it may appear unconventional, but this approach works exceptionally well, with connectors holding them firmly in place. If desired, you can print a cover for the smoothers from printaway's design, as sizes align perfectly. Five files are included in the section below: one comprehensive file containing the entire mount (best suited for large-size beds), and four separate parts that can be printed independently and glued together using acetone or super glue.
