Y Rod Support - Mendel

thingiverse

This is a y-rod support re-mix of the Mendel y-rod support. These always seem to crack under a small amount of pressure and my existing ones had crumbled to the point that my y-rods weren't quite parallel anymore. Problem is the original support requires that you undo the whole printer arm to put the new supports on .... REMIX! My version just snaps right on and with careful use is just as good as the original with respect to holding the y-rod straight. I couldn't find the original Thingiverse file for the y-rod support so this model is modified from the Mendel plate found elsewhere on this website. Instructions No instructions really, just remove the old supports with needle nose pliers and then snap these on. Helpful to do one at a time, that way one end of the y-rod is always supported. N.B - If you intend to replace all your y-rod supports then you will need to print 4 of these. Also I'm not guaranteeing that they will hold for the Z Rods or any of the other similar supports; just the y-rods.
