Simple Prusa i3 frame U clamp

prusaprinters

<p>Here is a simple, low-profile U clamp for the older design of Prusa i3 which uses printed Y corners and M8 threaded rod for the front and back ends of the Y sub-frame. These obviously are meant to fit over the lower rod at each end.</p> <p>As you can see in the photo, the clamps should be placed as close as possible to the corners, and you should put a few strips of tape between them and the rods, for which I've intentionally left a small gap in the clamps. This helps provide good grip, with some "give", to keep the clamps from cramming down too hard on the rods, which can damage the printed Y corners.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Licence: Creative Commons - Attribution - Non-Commercial - Share Alike Category: 3D Printer Parts Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2rqZ6Uo">Prusa Clone</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2 mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 30-50%</p>
