Ender-2 Z-Axis stepper damper bracket

thingiverse

I created a custom bracket for my Ender-2 as the standard brackets won't fit. To make it work, I used a material that doesn't shrink or warp (PLA was perfect). First, attach the bracket to the top of the profile and ensure the bottom side is perfectly perpendicular to the profile. If necessary, file down the upper or lower rib or modify the 3D model and print a new one. Next, measure the distance from the shaft to the profile at the trapeze nut and adjust the motor out or in so that the distances match on both ends. Here are the screws you'll need: * Two M3x4 (or M3x5) for the motor - I found mine in a spare parts bag * Two M3x16 for the damper * Two M3 washers for the damper * Three MC6S 4x12 (Socket screws) or similar to fit the profile * Three M4 Creality nuts for the profile Note: nate2569 pointed out that this design won't work on an Ender 3. The issue is that the stock Ender 3 Z axis motor rests on the bottom rail, and with the spacer installed on this bracket, the motor won't fit through the stock holes.
