Prusa i3 Steel Extended Y-Axis motor mount

thingiverse

The original steel plate motor mount on my Prusa i3 Steel had the motor shaft situated about 25mm ahead of the rear steel plate. Consequently, I lost approximately 25-30mm of usable print area as a result. This redesigned mount is created to replace the two steel plates supplied. The 3mm screws utilize the existing bracket mount holes in the rear plate, and the motor sits flush against the interior of the rear plate.
