X-Carve Y rail stiffener to reduce chatter

thingiverse

To reinforce your X-Carve's Y-Axis, you'll need the following materials for each stiffener: * 2x M5 x 8 mm button head hex screws (available at this link: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_d8YF8cV) * 2x M5 T-nuts (you can find them here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dSRSU1X) or drop-in T-nuts (check out this link: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dYOTSvB) The difference between these two T-nut options lies in how they're installed. The first type requires you to take apart the rail to get them in place, while the second ones can be easily inserted and removed without any hassle (I personally went with the latter, but the former offers a bit more mechanical stability). To ensure maximum support for your X-Carve's Y-Axis, I recommend using between 2 and 3 stiffeners per side.
