MPCNC Rigid Corner Brace

thingiverse

I created a more robust corner brace than what I've seen on Thingiverse so far. 4/8/2018 Update: I completed adding these supports to my own MPCNC and the frame is as solid as a rock, just like my table. I think it was worth the effort. The only issue now is Z wobble, which I'm not sure how to tackle yet. * Corner Brace 23.5, 24.5, 25, and 25.4mm versions are now available. > 12x / M3 x 16mm screws * Angled Mount (For old flex foot) The angle mount currently requires you to print a flex foot for each one. I did it this way to make it compatible with everyone's size. I may eventually create a one-piece angled foot to save print time and reduce the number of parts. The angle bracket foot has holes for both M3 and M4 bolts for attaching the flex foot you print. > Screws 16x / M3 x 12mm screws are used to bolt to the foot. (You can change to other sizes if requested.) https://tinyurl.com/y8a58a5l <--- For angle mount and corner braces. 32x wood/drywall screws are needed to attach to the table (use what you used for your 4 main feet). * Angled Mount (For new Foot 2018) Compatible with the new foot uploaded to the Main MPCNC on Mar 19, 2018 by Allted. Uses same slotted holes to attach to your table. Requires one bolt or screw to be angled, sorry if that's an issue. > Screws 24x / M5 x16 screws can be used to bolt to the foot.

Metric: https://jscalc.io/calc/mvBBqJ1AphGDq2ax Imperial: https://jscalc.io/calc/JhahDCAHDxAwHanc Dropbox JS file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ya71hzpe0p4px52/jsCalc.txt?dl=0 Enter your z height to get "Support Leg" length. If you want it lower, subtract that distance from your z and use that in the input. Algorithm: It uses a modified Pythagorean Theorem with offsets to account for both ends of the brackets. Only showing metric, but you can convert if using imperial. Metric: Z = Z height (((Z - 72.5)^2)*2) - 13 (Example: 200mmZ - 72.5 = 127.5, 127.5^2 = 16256.25, 16256.25 * 2 = 32512.5, (double to achieve 45deg angle) √ 32512.5 = 180.3, 180.3 - 13 = 167.3mm)
