Y-axis Bracket for Dampener

thingiverse

Introducing a new Y-axis motor bracket for dampeners, designed specifically for Prusa i3 but potentially compatible with other models. Originally, the motors arrived with metal/rubber plates attached, which were later identified as dampeners that reduce vibration and noise. The x-axis was easily fitted with the original bracket and dampener, but the y-axis required an alternative solution. This new bracket allows for both motor and dampener installation on the y-axis. Printing instructions include layer height of .25, 3 perimeters, hex infill, a 2mm brim, and flipping the print 180 degrees to ensure screw insets are positioned correctly. Installation pictures provide clear guidance. Remember to ensure that the dampener is the only contact between the motor and bracket by using spacers if necessary.
