Rear Mount Z Brace fo Monoprice Maker Selct Plus

Rear mounting Z Brace that fits the newest generation of Monoprice Maker Select Plus printers where the Z axis smooth rods are mounted to the top of the gantry.

Rear mounting Z brace that wont get in the way and mount very securely.

You will need:

2 pcs 444 mm (17.5") M8 (5/16") metal threaded rod
4 pcs M5 x 16 screws
10 pcs M3 x 12 screws
6 pcs M8 (5/16) hex nuts -- to hold the rods
2 pcs M8 (5/16) nylon hex nuts -- to be placed at the bottom (no slippage)

You can use either size of printed nuts, I put the smaller ones on the outside and the larger ones on the inner side of the rods. When you take the top screws out getting the smooth rod bracket aligned with the screw holes can be a little tricky.

UPDATE 4/3/18 Modified the Left Rear Lower bracket to clear the power switch housing. Let me know if there are any other tweaks!
