Tronxy X5SA Pro XY motor brace

thingiverse

Almost two years ago, I purchased my Tronxy X5SA Pro. I would be lying if I said that it was a good machine (the way Tronxy builds/sells it), however with a bit of work I have managed to turn mine into quite the workhorse. One of my biggest complaints, right out of the box, was the original X and Y motor mounts. They seemed to be cut from some crappy thick material and would flex pretty bad during rapid moves. This had to be tended to! These X and Y motor braces are intended to replace the stock pieces, while still offering some room for adjusting the belt tension. They were designed to fit my X5SA Pro, however they will still fit on the base model X5SA. The Y motor brace can be printed as is, or rotated 90°, the X brace should be printed as is. Supports are recommended. If you use Cura, I suggest setting "Support Wall Line Count" to 0 and disable ALL "Support Interface" options. Mounting these can be a bit difficult because of how dynamic the fitment is. Use M4x8mm bolts and M4 T-slot nuts. Install three bolts and nuts on the outer side section, then loosely secure it to the frame. The remaining T slot nuts should either be placed in the frame before putting the brace on, or slid into place after it is mounted.
