Central stiffening CTC I3 Pro B (Prusa clone)

thingiverse

After completing the initial works, I discovered that my printer was not as precise as I had envisioned, so I set out to create a series of enhancements to refine its performance. The first step I took was to place it on a sturdy 10 mm plywood base and utilize this platform for securing the necessary anchors. Subsequently, I designed and printed several key components (which are showcased individually in each subsequent publication). In this particular release: 1 - Central Reinforcement. I observed that the M8 threaded rods were excessively loose, causing the print plane to shift and resulting in prints with distorted 90-degree corners. To address this issue, I incorporated a central reinforcement feature, which solidifies the lower crossbeam (a single piece integrated with the front frame) and prevents lateral movement of the plate in relation to the entire lower structure.
