MaxMicron Z-Frame Braces

Z-Frame Braces The MaxMicron printer's z-frame is a good start, but it can be improved upon. The profile connectors are set in a way that doesn't force the vertical alignment, which led to issues with uneven sides. To fix this and strengthen the frame properly, I created these right-angle braces. To install the braces, you'll need to remove the power supply and control board from the frame. Alternatively, someone could modify the right brace to accommodate the controller while keeping it secure. I opted to place my controller in a separate box for added convenience. The design is optimized for printing without supports, with the layers aligned at 45 degrees when installed vertically. The box girder form minimizes filament usage while maintaining exceptional strength. The OpenSCAD file is included for easy replication. With these braces in place, I've eliminated small twisting issues with the x-carriage as it moves from left to right. Print Settings Printer: MaxMicron Modified Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.25mm layers Infill: 20% or more Notes: Should print without supports. Post-Printing Fitting Remove the power supply and control board mount, reuse the M5 nuts and bolts to fit the braces. You may need to loosen and retighten the existing metal connectors once the frame is vertical.
