Frame support for Tevo Tarantula

thingiverse

<h2>Description</h2> I designed a frame support for my Tarantula using the 6mm threaded rods I already had on hand. <h2>Printed Parts List</h2> 1 x Upper Support 2 x Upper Rod End 2 x Rod End 2 x Lower Support <h2>Non-Printed Parts List</h2> Threaded Rods: 2 x M6x430mm. Longer rods will make the angles smaller and support less rigid. Washers: 6 x Ø6; 8 x Ø5 Nuts: 8 x M6; 4 X M5 Bolts: 4 x M5x25mm <h2>Functional Description</h2> I wanted to make my printer frame more stable, so I mounted it to an MDF plate and printed a bracket. However, after printing, the design looked weak, so I decided to create something more robust using those threaded rods as main components for adjustment and stability. <h2>Printing Tips</h2> Since these are structural parts, print them slower for better filament adhesion. Print in the orientations shown in the screenshot, with forces along the strands. Supports are only needed on the parts shown in the screenshot. <h2>Installation and Adjustment</h2> 1) Install everything as shown in the photo, without tightening the nuts. 2) Tighten the upper nuts at lower rod ends to secure the screws. 3) Adjust the frame to be perpendicular to the mount plate by tightening or loosening the top nuts at Upper rod ends. 4) Tighten the counter nuts and transverse M5 bolts/nuts to secure everything. <h2>Others</h2> Designed in: eMachineShop Attached files: STL and EMS Material: Initially used PLA (blue), but after some time, the upper rod end delaminated, so I redesigned it and reprinted in PETG (black).
