My Modifications / Improvements of the MK2

I have made some modifications to my Prusa MK2.

1. Z-axis stabilizer
2. Smaller PSU on the backside of the printer (otherwise the stabilizer wouldn't fit)
3. Cover for the print bed connector
4. Fork-Spool Holder and spool kernels

If there is any interest I'll put the STLs into thingiverse

Cool. Wouldn't moving the spool off the frame improve stability though?

Wow. Radical axis support. What is the difference/improvement over the MK2 power supply and now standard support? Are your prints better? Have you a before and after example of your prints?

The power supply had to be removed because of the stabilizer threaded rod. Therefore I looked for a compact solution and I found a smaller 360W PSU with active cooling fan. It makes more noise but keeps much cooler when printing long ABS jobs.
BTW: I'm using the Housing_for_RAMBo_mini_1.3A by wfvn to get space for the rod on the other side.

... here some pictures. (Sorry for the dust)
