T8 lead screw frame brace 2020 extrusion

thingiverse

I recently encountered a stability issue on my Tevo Tarantula, where the top of the frame was wobbling. To rectify this, I needed to add a brace to stiffen everything up. Given that I had already replaced the Z-axis lead screw with a new one, I had the original 375mm Tevo Tarantula Z-axis lead screw in stock. Instead of purchasing a threaded rod as seen in many similar designs, I opted to save money by reusing the old leadscrew. The end caps twist directly onto the leadscrew ends without requiring nuts. This design simplifies the process significantly. To assemble the brace, one end is screwed into a wooden base, while the other attaches to 2020 extrusion using an M4 bolt and T nut. Additional components required for this project include: - Four small screws - Two M4 bolts with T nuts - Two M3 bolts and nuts (for hinges)
