Printrbot Original Y Axis Motor Mount Mod

thingiverse

I designed this motor mount to move the Y axis belt to the center of the bed like other RepRap designs. I was having issues with the bed racking and binding due to the bed being pulled from just one side.This caused ripples and rounded corners on all of my prints. I couldn't find anything I was looking for already on Thingiverse, so I just whipped this up in Solidworks. I added holes at the bottoms of the mount to secure it, but the the fit is so snug the M4 bolts aren't necessary. If you still use one of these original Printrbots, I hope this may help you! Instructions Print the mount and snap it onto the threaded rods. You will need to drill new holes for the Y axis belt mounts. Enjoy.
