MonoPrice Select Mini v2 X-Axis Stabilizer and No Drill Rewire Side Panel Combo

thingiverse

This is a just-right solution to my needs, cobbling together some already brilliant designs that were out there. I wanted to reroute the bed wiring without drilling, stabilize the X gantry, and generate parts on my own little 3D printing pal. The foundation of this whole shebang is FDM Guru's X Gantry Support System, which will not print on the smaller MPSM in one piece. The first thing I did was slice that sucker in half and add dovetails to join the seam. A fan/guard would act as a seam brace too. I've included a 40mm fan guard in a lovely honeycomb pattern, just in case you don't already have something in mind. I liked the cable duct on Jctots's Side Cooling Vent Remix for No Drill Bed Rewiring, so I surgically extracted it and mixed it into the newly split panel. The jigsawed together panels needed a little support because there was still some mobility in the center of the panel due to no mechanical fastening to the printer frame. Problem is, there's nothing to fasten to. So after some head scratching, I modeled a little brace that would snap in from behind the standoffs below the mainboard and let you get a screw into it through the side panel. Lastly, I had to remake the gantry bearing mount as the screws did not line up with FDM Guru's design on my printer. I have a v2, so it stands to reason the screw locations may have varied. It works for me and may be a good starting point for you, but be prepared to tweak the bearing mount to suit your needs. I swiped the 6mm linear rail cap from Mdkendall's bearing holder design because that's a genius finishing touch. One final note: I'm abandoning you to your own devices to plumb the source designs for all the various bits and pieces to purchase and pull this together - linear rails, bearings, etc. This was one among my earlier works done in Sketchup, which was likely the long way around the barn. I post this not to be perfect but possibly to be useful to someone who is heading down the same path as I was, and save them some effort.
