Wanhao i3 v2 Rear Z-Brace

thingiverse

These printable parts design a rear z-brace for the Wanhao i3, made to fit a Monoprice Maker Select V2. Clear access to all components from the front is maintained by placing them in the back. This design accommodates 5/16 threaded rod, commonly found in USA hardware stores as allthread. Large flat spots are left for washers, which require two 17-inch minimum lengths of 5/16 threaded rod, with 18 inches used to ensure half of a standard 36-inch rod is utilized. Eight 5/16 nuts and eight 5/16 washers are needed to secure the rods. To attach mounting brackets to the machine, ten M3-0.50 bolts approximately 8mm or longer are required, potentially substitutable with 7mm bolts. Ten millimeters long bolts were used to ensure extra room for reworking bracket designs or adding a nut without issue. A wedge shape is also included to angle the cable guide inward and avoid the z-brace rod on that side. Additional M3-0.50 bolts are necessary, as stock bolts may not be long enough.
