Hi all,
I've had my Prusa i3 (single plate, no support wings) up and running for a number of months now and I have had some VERY good results. But I recently tried to print a tall part meant for an assembly and noticed that my z-axis is not square with my y-axis. I have searched the web and found only two solutions for my problem. The first is to print out a pair of Braces for the connection between the M10 rods and the Plate (which would not work anyways because my z axis would end up skewing the print anyways) [www.thingiverse.com]
The second option is to buy some m6 and m8 rod and create a diagonal support for the backside of the printer. This seems like a better option, but I was wondering if anyone here has done this mod and seen a significant improvement along the z-axis? [www.thingiverse.com]
If anyone else has found a (preferably cheaper) alternative to these two mods lemme know, because I really would like to finally smooth out this last mechanical issue asap.
Thanks,
Shrub
