If you've seen my YouTube channel regarding the review of the Prusa i3 MK2 build review if not check it out at: https://youtu.be/CtcQbB6cM5I you'll know that I talk about the improvement that can be made in the reduced noise during printing can be made using IGUS dryline bearings. But I also mention that using tie-wraps to secure these to the build platform is very bad idea due to minor movement and a much secure method is required. Well, simply download this IGUS Dryline RJ4JP-01-08 bearing adaptor and install it as normal You'll need: 3x IGUS Adaptors 6x Square Nut M3nS (5.4 x 5.4mm) 6x M3 x 10 dome head screws Print Spec: I used Cura 2.3.0 and settings that worked well for me are. Material PLA Highest quality print 0.06mm layer height Top/Bottom layer 8 high 50% infill I also enabled Z-Axis retraction which helped reduce stringing. NOTE: The side that has the two bearing on the bed plate, IMPORTANT to make sure the recessed part of the bracket is point outwards otherwise this will interfere with the blocks either side of the printer preventing this from reaching the end-stops. (See pic for reference) Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 MK2 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.06 Infill: 50% Notes: Print the model on the bed upside down so that the two square holes are facing up and switch on support as this print far better in this orientation Post-Printing remove support and ensure that the mating surface of the adaptor to the heated bed is flat and free from filament debris or stringing. How I Designed This I used Autodesk Inventor 17
