CTC Prusa I3 Z-Axis Bracket replacement

thingiverse

I required a more substantial Z-Axis bracket for my China-made Prusa I3 (CTC) to eliminate vibrations, necessitating a larger hole at the lead screw's end. The original parts were crafted from approximately 5mm thick plywood. This new design needed to accommodate a ball bearing bracket (KFL08) for the lead screw's end but should function even without one. The design was created using 3D Studio Max and exported as .stl. Three versions are available, each with varying thickness: 5mm, 7mm, and 9mm, featuring two distinct components: one for the right side and another for the left side. Some minor filing may be necessary to ensure a precise fit of the Z-Axis smooth rod into its corresponding hole.
