Prusa i3 MK2 - Y-Frame Assembly Helper - In Quarters

thingiverse

The Prusa i3 MK2 - Y-Frame Assembly Helper by MartinMajewski is a great tool, but what if your current printer isn't big enough to print it? One solution is to cut the design into four pieces and add flanges with holes that fit M3 machine screws. This allows you to join the pieces back together easily. Each piece should fit comfortably on the bed of a Monoprice MP Select Mini (120mm square). To do this, you'll need to print two copies of each piece: A and B. You'll also require four M3 x 8 hex head machine screws and four M3 x 4mm threaded inserts. Simply print out the pieces and screw them together in an obvious way. In addition to cutting the design into four parts, I also reduced the height of the parts that clip onto the rods by 1mm. This makes it easier to unclip them after the helper has done its job and the Y Axis is assembled. Remixes and changes are welcome. The STEP file for this project is available for download if you want to make any modifications.
