MakerFarm 5mm anti-backlash z traps

thingiverse

I built this model to perfectly match the MakerFarm Prusa i3v (proven on the 8 inch version) in order to minimize backlash significantly. It's virtually identical to Wesner's original design, except I made some adjustments based on the springs I happened to have available (which is why I provided a sketchup file). I designed it with standard 5mm rods in mind. Simple to use, simply slip an M5 nut onto the threaded rod, then place the spring underneath, followed by another M5 nut, and secure it at your desired length. Next, slide the printed component over it and bolt it securely into position on the x-axis frame
