The Ender Unbender

thingiverse

Do something for me: Put two fingers on the front of the Y axis extrusion on your non-Pro Ender 3. Now give it a little push downwards. Holy S***, it flexed like half an inch! Weak. Now picture yourself printing an overnighter. I''m talking 6-700 grams of filament. Your acceleration is set to 5000mm/s2 on a BED SLINGER, you maniac. You print gets to around 150mm high and the extra weight on the bed is causing the part to sway back and forth. Your tree supports are vibrating. You are filled with regret over not spending 20 more bucks on the Pro. You swear the Youtube reviews never mentioned the more stable Y axis extrusion at the time! That's where the Ender Unbender comes in. At first glance this might look a simple rectangle and a fit-point spline extruded on Fusion 360, but its much, much more than that. It also has text! The very first time you slide your personal Ender Unbender under the front (or back) of your floppy-Y, you'll be printing sky-high. Your Y has never been so erect™
