Direct motor mount for Ultimaker 2 Aluminium clone

thingiverse

I've encountered an issue with backlash on my Ultimaker 2 clone, no matter how much effort I've put into tightening the belts. To rule out one possible cause and reduce maintenance time spent re-tightening the motors, I decided to try a new approach. A huge thank you goes out to Jason At Paint for creating the original design of this printer. I really enjoy using it! Instructions: This setup places the motors in the back left corner. Unfortunately, it eliminates the holder for the end-stop to make room for accessing the screws that secure the Stepper motor in place. Since I wasn't using the end-stop, I didn't give this aspect much thought... First, print the X and Y direct_motormount*.stl files, followed by printing two copies of direct_motor_nema_mount.stl. For the other end of the rod, I stuck with the original mounts.
