Creality Ender 3 (1st GENERATION) - Y Axis Damper Mount (to not hit the bed plate)

thingiverse

In the File section, I uploaded a new "FLAT" version with the 2040 extrusion placed horizontally, just like on CR10 printers. I uploaded a fresh version of this support, featuring a shorter arm with an M5 hole, and moving the Y endstop back into place because the previous design interfered by 3mm with the endstop mount. This updated version fixes that problem. I took a great design from Thingiverse and remixed it to create a better fit for my Creality Ender 3's stepper damper on the y-axis, which had been hitting the metal bed support plate when I installed it. With this new mount, you can use the damper without grinding away at the metal from the support plate, and it fits easily into place. I remixed the original design to add extra toughness and resistance to bending, just like I've done on other printers. To secure the piece in place, I'm using an M5x10 screw and a M5 T-nut on the opposite side; you can also choose not to use anything in the hole if you prefer. Right now, I'm printing this piece and will soon upload a photo of it on my printer. It's best to print it with ABS plastic and a solid infill structure, along with at least three walls for added support. Feel free to share your suggestions for improvement and upload any photos or prints you make from this design!
