Y-axis bed stabilizer self tensioning for Solidoodle 3

thingiverse

I remodeled Adoniram's Y-axis stabilizer using Tinkercad. You can edit and access it online here: https://tinkercad.com/things/3cdQ294cnmj. In my version, I employed his bearing holders but designed a distinct mount with a tension spring from a local hardware store. The rods are 7-inch long 3/16 music wire with a 90-degree bend at 1 inch from the end, and the bearings are 5x11x4 mm as per Adoniram's instructions. To fit the ends of the wire into the bearing holders, I ground them slightly. After centering the mount on the bed, you might need to glue the printed parts to the rods, but mine were tight enough without it. The creation was printed at 3mm with support. If you like it, feel free to let me know!
