Y Axis Stepper Motor Support Brace

thingiverse

After printing this you will want to mount it to your y-axis stepper. To do that you will need: * 1 x 12mm M5 screw * 1 x M5 T Nut * 2 x 45mm M3 screw I purchased all of the above from amazon. Additionally this can be used with a motor damper which was my reason for designing it. Start by mounting the brace to the damper or directly to the motor. Remove two of the M3 screws from the rear of the stepper. These are too short so it is why we need 45mm M3 screws. After attaching them to the motor lift up your printer or put it on it's side and attach the M5 screw and T Nut. Notes -------- When installing this you will want to move your y-axis limit switch forward a bit by unscrewing the screw that holds it to the extrusion and sliding it forward. If using the damper it is preferred to add one to the front and rear of the motor and use this brace to straighten the motor from the belt tension.
