FLSUN3D i3 reinforced Z axis lead screw mount

thingiverse

This is a reinforced Z-axis lead screw mount for the right side of a FLSUN3D i3 reprap, specifically designed to replace the stock mount that has the X-axis hanging off the Z-axis rods. The original design was flawed, using a flat lasercut piece of acrylic that bends and eventually snapped over time due to its structural weakness. This alternative mount features three screw points for added stability. A photo is included showing the previous version before I made some revisions. These revisions have improved the overall design and functionality of the mount. Also included is an SKP SketchUp file, which I use to model all my designs. The STL converter will need to be repaired before slicing, but the included STL has been fixed and is ready for printing. Whether this mount is actually stronger depends on your print settings and materials, however I printed mine at 0.3mm with PLA and it's doing fine, looking visibly more structurally sound than the original design.
