Printrbot 1405 Rear Feet

thingiverse

I recently fabricated a custom set of rear stabilizers for my Printrbot 1405 Makers edition. Constructing them using Tinkercad proved relatively quick. As yet, these parts haven't undergone testing through 3D printing; I'll soon be conducting the necessary evaluations. Designed with the aim of preventing machine tilt during large bed use in the X direction, these stabilizers should enhance overall stability. My spacing measurements checked out just fine, but there was an error in the positioning distance between holes and edges - my guide meant to assist with aligning against the rear edge ultimately prevented a proper fit due to this discrepancy. By inserting some makeshift spacers, I was able to salvage the situation; however, at this point, it appears that either I need to modify or remove the existing back guide, possibly increasing the distance by approximately 4-6 millimeters for future fabrication reference purposes.
