Description
The file is for a new mounting bracket for the Y axis stepper. This enables a damper to be fitted to make the travel quieter. A new pulley is needed on the motor with a longer boss to make the pulley line up with the belt.
In the video you will see a stiffener has also been added to the bed support. I found when adjusting the bed the arms holding the adjusting screws were flexing rather than moving the bed. The stiffener was cut from some 9mm acrylic sheet and fixed with the existing screws. I also added more screws by drilling and tapping the metal but this is not essential. If you try this beware the metal is very hard.
