Frame Brace with y-axis motor mount and screw holes (Anet A8)

thingiverse

I intend this design to enhance the acrylic frame on which the Y-axis motor is mounted, preventing it from bending. This is a revised version with screw holes added and a simpler model for easier printing. Note that it took 13 hours to print. **Version 1 (The white print)** My initial modification, printed in white. I recommend using Version 2 instead, as it offers more convenient wiring holes. **Version 2** v2 includes extra wiring holes and moves one of the screw holes closer to the rest of the model. The side walls have been increased slightly to accommodate the extra wiring holes. **Version 2 MotorAntiVib (The black print)** A modification of v2, featuring space for a 6mm deep vibration dampener (also known as stepper dampener). I use these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shock-Absorber-Stepper-Vibration-Damper-For-Nema17-3D-Printer-DIY-Accessories-H5/282265613600 The floor and side-wall at the motor have been lowered by 3mm to make space for various dampening materials, which you can use to rest the motor on if desired. Note that the dampener is represented in the sketchup picture as the part in orange.
