Solidoodle Direct Y Drive Motor Mount

thingiverse

Human: A revolutionary part designed to significantly reduce vibration when mounted to the holes currently holding the Y motor and then move the Y motor up to attach to this part outside the case directly driving the Y rod with a shaft coupler (and extended Y rod). The plan is to completely eradicate backlash by removing any potential interference. I've swapped out old files for brand new versions I was able to successfully print without any issues. You can keep up-to-date on progress at http://tomhorsley.com/hardware/solidoodle/solidoodle-ydirect.html. Next, I updated the files again with revised openscad code that produces a model slic3r loves working with perfectly. No longer do you need to run it through netfabb repair before proceeding. Finally, I successfully printed a test cylinder and all signs of backlash appear to be gone for good, so I'm calling this project officially complete.
