Bed Supports Ender 5 & Ender 5 Pro

prusaprinters

Bed reinforcement brackets for the Ender 5 and Ender 5 Pro in order to reduce vibrations and make the bed more stable.  Advantages over other models:stronger if print correctly (see below) less material - less weight no Z losing  PRINTINGMaterial: because parts of brackets are close to the heated bed I highly recommend using a heat resistant filament like PETG or better. I used PA CF15.Orientation: rotate the parts 45 degree and print them like this: Settings: min 4 perimeters (for 0.4mm nozzle), 25%+ infill, no supports, infill angle 0 (very important!). POST-PROCESSINGUse a drill or a screw to break the holes. MOUNTINGBOM for 2 supports:8x M5x30 socket head cap screw8x M5 nuts IMPORTANT: don't over tight. You can damage the bearings and the smooth rods! After installation verify if your Z works smoothly. Use a zip tie to secure the brackets to the bed frame.UPDATES06.07.2024 - Change the radius for bearings from 9.70mm to 9.50mm19.08.2023 - Change the radius for bearings from 10.00mm to 9.70mm
