Gotta admit, she's not the sturdiest ship at sea from the factory. Those tiny corner cubes just don't cut it. So I ordered big brackets like these and now i pick her right up by the gantry. |

 The plastic caps come off the ends if you gently pry they off one corner at a time. I did mine last night when changing out the switch, the factory overtightened two of the small T nuts damaging the aluminum extrusion.  |

Yes, but I was referring to the trapped ends where 2 pieces of 2020 aluminum meet at a 90 degree angle. Like the long runners on the base of the printer. Can't get one in there unless you unbolt one of the end rails. |

I haven't taken mine that far apart either but when I do those tiny fasteners will be gone.  |

I made these 3mm thick aluminium support plates. I think they do fine and two of them gives now more support with normal brackets. But I need a lot of screws if I put them to two sides in four corners..  |

Two screws in each axis is really good support, that's the right number. Do you feel that's too many? |

Thanks, I just made program to the punching machine in my work  I made eight of them and had an idea that I would put them to both side of bars. But one side is enough so needed just four of them. Up there allso.  |

Hello kioskfan, yes, two pieces glued together, sandblasted and spraypainted.
It wasn't easy to geht the angle exact 90 degrees.

Typical german overengineering I’ve just put a smaller version on thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2622229It fits on the bed in one piece now but it’s still a huge print of approximately 6 hours...each😟😬 |
