CR-10 (CR-10S, S4, S5) Tube Frame Support Bracket

thingiverse

I wanted a sleek yet effective solution to stabilize the movement and vibrations in my CR-10 series printer. After researching online, I found a few alternatives but wanted something more refined. The screws automatically expand inside the tube to provide an incredibly tight hold. My printer now feels rock solid, and tall prints no longer exhibit artifacts from frame movement. Here's what you'll need: (4) Printed parts - I used PETG but PLA works just as well (2) 3/4" tubes - I chose steel tubes from Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-36-in-x-3-4-in-x-1-16-in-Plain-Steel-Round-Tube-801237/204225742 (1) Hacksaw to cut the tube to length (1) M5 tap - To tap the ends of the T-Slot. Alternatively, use self-tapping M5 screws (4) M5 8mm screws (4) M5 10+mm screws Print the brackets, tap the holes in the t-slot and then temporarily screw them in place. Next, slide the tube over one end and square the frame using a T-square or any tool that can achieve a 90-degree angle (I used an iPad!). Measure and mark the length of the tube, cut it with a hacksaw, reassemble, and insert the long screws into the holes which expand to grab the tube tightly from the inside. Repeat for the other side.
