RepRap Prusa X End Motor Braces

thingiverse

To enhance the sturdiness of the X end motor part on a Reprap Prusa, purchase 1.5mm aluminum angle bracket from a local hardware store. Cut, drill, and file it to shape, possibly adding braces at both sides of the stepper motor. Bond the pulley-side brace in place with epoxy but leave the non-pulley side brace clamped for easy motor replacement. Secure the parts with tie wraps before tightening the X carriage belt, resulting in minimal movement and easier tensioning.
