Monoprice Dual Extruder 3D Printer Y Axis Motor Mount

thingiverse

This custom replacement part is specifically designed to work with both the Monoprice Dual Extrusion 3D Printer and the Makerbet Replicator 2, allowing for seamless compatibility and integration with these popular 3D printing devices. The innovative design addresses a common issue faced by users of these printers, where the flimsy bracket holding the Y-axis motor can lead to catastrophic failures during print jobs. As a user who has personally experienced the frustration of having their factory-bracket fail during a print job, I can attest to the value of this redesign. Thankfully, with access to two 3D printers, I was able to create and print a robust replacement part that significantly improves the overall structure and functionality of my printer. One of the notable advantages of this custom bracket is its beefy design, which provides a much-needed upgrade from the original flimsy counterpart. With proper hole placement and careful engineering, this replacement part makes for an easy DIY repair job once printed successfully. However, I'm aware that not all users have access to a functioning printer, which is why I've offered to provide a pre-printed copy upon request. To explore more details about the design and how to acquire a printed copy of this replacement bracket, be sure to check out my latest YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24W1xOPrz5U. For those interested in contacting me for further information or a print-out, simply send an email to kent.roller google mail. It's worth emphasizing that when utilizing this replacement bracket, it's essential to integrate a heatsink and fan onto the stepper motor to prevent thermal deformation of PLA and ABS plastics during operation. By taking this crucial precaution, users can ensure reliable performance from their upgraded 3D printer configuration.
