Tevo Tornado Y Stepper Reinforcement -- 44 mm

thingiverse

This is a remix of Blakehammer's "Tevo Tornado Y Stepper Reinforcement" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2675505. In this version, the center hole has been widened by 2 mm to 44 mm, allowing you to wrap sound-deadening material around the stepper motor before installing the bracket. This is crucial if you've installed a damper, as without the sound-deadening material, the bracket will amplify the motor noise into the printer frame. A split has also been incorporated at the back side of the design (its actual name is unclear). This enables the bracket to be easily slipped over the motor and the sound-deadening material. To secure it in place, you'll need an M3 nut and bolt to tighten the bracket; an indentation prevents the nut from spinning. Secure the bracket to the frame using an M5 bolt and T-nut. I used plumbing silicone tape cut into a 10 mm wide strip and wrapped it around the motor before installing this damper. Other options like electrical tape, cloth tape, duct tape, or even plastic wrap may also work effectively.
