Top Mount to Reduce Z-Wobble: Reducing Vibration with Precision Engineering A precision-crafted top mount designed to minimize the effects of bent or misaligned threaded rods, eliminating z-wobble and ensuring smooth linear rod movement. The thicker rod press fit provides an extra layer of stability, guaranteeing consistent results. The included top mount features a sturdy 27mm x 40mm plate, boasting a thickness of 5mm, perfect for securing extruders or miscellaneous components. For added convenience, the provided blender files enable seamless integration with your existing designs. Visual Comparison: A striking image demonstrates the noticeable difference in z-wobble between two prints, showcasing the effectiveness of this top mount solution. Print Settings: Printer: CTC i3 Rafts: Not Required Supports: No Support Needed Infill: A recommended 15% or higher infill setting ensures optimal print quality and minimizes pillowing. Notes: To ensure a successful print, pay close attention to printing orientation. The flat side of the part should be positioned at the bottom. For optimal results, mirror the design for the other side to achieve a secure press fit. Post-Printing: After printing, some minor handling or reshaping may be necessary. The slightly oversized press fit mount accounts for potential x-y misalignment caused by z-wobble, guaranteeing a precise fit.
