Z-Axis Bracket Upgrade SV06

prusaprinters

The Z-axis was never aligned with the frame and I determined it was some warp on the injection molded parts provided with the machine. I tried shimming behind the stepper which improved things slightly, but I wasn't satisfied. I studied the Prusa version, added a brace and some other DFM features and reprinted. Now my Z-axis is perfectly aligned with the frame and the Z-axis linear rods are firmly held in place (the hole on the stock part is oversized so they could move slightly).You will need (8) M4 heat inserts that work in a 5.6mm diameter and 9.1mm deep hole. I used Ruthex. Here's the link to just M4 inserts, but you'd be better off getting the set for the future! Once you sink them in using a soldering iron, make sure to hold them down with something flat so they don't rise back up. You want the mounting surface to be very flat!https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YSV66Y5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
