Kossel 2020 Corner Reinforcement

thingiverse

IMPORTANT! DO NOT JUST PRINT 3 OF THESE. You'll need 2 Left and 4 Right braces -- so you'll need to MIRROR the design to get the other 3! Corner reinforcement for an Openbeam 2020 Kossel. I wasn't sure I needed these, but the lack of rotational bracing on Kossel corners always bothered me so I gave this a try -- and it definitely does make a difference, albeit not a huge one. The structure is more rigid and ringing artifacts are tighter/smaller. I haven't put them on the top of mine yet, just the bottom, but they should have adequate clearance (at least on my linear Kossel). Designed for M4x8mm bolts -- you'll need 4 per brace or 24 total. Use a fairly dense supporting grid for best results. You'll also want to re-level your printer after installing these. I've had no printing issues since putting mine on and re-leveling. 6/1/2019 NOTE: if you want to take your frame rigidity to the next level FOR REAL, check out my complementary wire brace system here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2941887 10/24/19 NOTE: And spreader arms for that: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3173547
