X5S Stiffened Z Bracket Motor Only

thingiverse

I grew tired of vertical rod misalignment, which plagued me with holes on both ends causing some sort of force that didn't sit right with me.\r\n\r\nThis motor mount was the solution I desperately needed.\r\n\r\nFirst, loosely fasten the rods at top and bottom, then slide the bed all the way down without motors attached, and secure the bottom.\r\n\r\nNext, slide the motors up to their highest point and lock them into place securely. It's crucial to space the rods with washers to prevent warping your frame.\r\n\r\nThen, install the motors on the brackets, loosely fasten them in place, and slide the bed down so motor shafts poke through holes. Center the motors, tighten fasteners, and finally, install leadscrews and couplers.\r\n\r\nThe result was outstanding alignment.
