BIQU B1 Z brace with no restriction on any axis

thingiverse

This was just a test to see if Z-brace will do anything on our printer. In my case it improved overal stiffness and my prints are about 5-10% better. But it could be just me. Lower bracket is mounted under printer leg, holder for threaded rod was screwed in with two M3 screws I had laying around (mismatched heads, lengths and colors). Threaded rod is screwed in on both ends. Top mount is just snap fit on top 2020 extrusion. This brace is slightly angled along Y and X axis to clear print head along Z axis. As result it doesn't limit any axis and could be mirrored for dual bracing of the printer. Hardware needed (one side of the printer): Threaded rod M10 570mm 2x M3x8 for lower bracket Longer M4 screw under printer leg It doesn't look nice, it isn't final product by any means, but it might help somebody even in current state. I doubt I will find motivation to polish it and make it final product, because it works great for me as is.
