JGAURORA A5 Z-Axis Linear Rod Stabilizer (Holder)

thingiverse

I recently purchased an A5 printer, and I was initially thrilled until I discovered that both Z-axis linear rod stabilizers were either severely damaged or unable to maintain tension due to fractures at their screw connections. As a result, I designed replacement parts for both sides, which can be printed without the need for mirroring - simply print one and flip it to match the correct orientation. These replacements use an M3x8mm button screw originally, but I opted for M3x8mm socket cap screws during installation, and either type will work. I printed them using eSun PLA plus at 235C, 50% infill, 4 top layers and 4 bottom layers, 0.8mm wall thickness, and a 0.2mm layer height. To install the stabilizers: - Unplug the motor and remove the two screws holding it in place at the bottom of the Z-axis. - Manually slide the linear rod down and insert the holder into its designated position (two holes align with the frame's corresponding holes). - Slide the threaded rod and linear rod back up, then mount the motor. - Place the stabilizer in its correct orientation and secure it using two M3x8mm screws. - Plug the motor back in.
