Tevo Tarantula vertical rigidity brackets

thingiverse

Add some rigidity to the Z axis without adding extra weight. Each bracket weighs in at around 15 grams. Those brackets are designed to fit on top of small integrated "L" corner pieces. **Required parts** For each side, you'll need 5 M4 allen screws, T-nuts, and 3 washers. The right side, which holds the motherboard, has a slit that lets you run Y motor and endstop cables from the 2040 slot to the motherboard. If you don't need this feature, simply mirror the left part as they are identical otherwise. Print these brackets with 30% infill, using a 6mm brim and zig-zag supports. The holes are designed large enough that drilling is not required after printing. A quick sanding of the bottom will remove any trace of the supports. **Installation** - Remove the supports with a screwdriver, then quickly sand the bottom of the bracket. - Insert a 4mm T-nut into the Z beam and rotate it in place against the metallic corner piece. Use a screwdriver in the thread and a toothpick to help it fit. - Fit the M4 screws with washers - except for the rounder corner - and the T-nuts to the bracket (L face and back side). - Align the T-nuts with the profile slots and push the bracket onto the Tarantula, starting with the pair on the Z beam. Then lower it down to the bottom beam. - Tighten gently. - Insert the last screw to catch the T-nut that was previously put in the Z beam, and tighten it gently. - Now ensure everything is tightly pushed against the brackets, then tighten for good. - Repeat with the other side. **After installing these brackets, your next step is here:** https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2497446
