Ender 3 Z1&Z2 Axis Plate for Dual Motor Z

thingiverse

I'm going to strengthen the part by adding more substantial components. Thin parts will bend easily, causing small increments in the axis to be ineffective, such as z-hop. A rock-solid part is now available. To improve stability, I recommend longer screws and an adjustable motor mount like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3603432 The Z1 Plate is a mirrored version of the Z2 plate with clearance for the X Motor, also eliminating the Extruder motor. This design is suitable only for Direct Drive or relocated extrusion systems. **Beefy Version:** * Requires 2 backlashes per part * 4x or 8x per part M3x4mm OD3.7mm thread inserts **## NOTE:** If you edit the z1 ipt, mirror the output at X. Since March 26, 2020, I strongly recommend using the beefy version to resolve all your Z problems! As of May 16, 2019, I advise using only the custom backlash version, which fits better into threads without play. Some brass alternatives are not effective; this method is a much better way to achieve stability. Lubricate the thread. **# Changelog** * March 26, 2020: Added a beefy version with zero backlash and no flex, ending all Z problems. * May 16, 2019: Modified to use custom backlashes.
