Where is the Y-motor stabilizer STL?

There is a Y-motor stabilizer that is shipping on new machines. It fits between the y-axis motor and the double threaded rods at the back of the bed. It prevents motor cant, and minimizes abrasion of the belts and some ringing in the prints. Does anyone have the STL?

I've looked at the printable parts on the website @ http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prusa3d.com%2Fprusa-i3-printable-parts%2F&h=wAQGD9tIP and on github https://github.com/prusa3d/Orignal-Prusa-i3/tree/MK2/Printed-Parts/stl but can't find it.

This has been discussed before. I've heard this item doesn't occur with the kits, just the prebuilt machines.

You can check here for my recreation of this item from what I measured of the one on my prebuilt machine.

Dimensions PNG

and an 8 inch (200mm) or greater caliper is recommended.

Ask and ye shall receive. I actually just asked PR support for these files and was given them just other day. Now I give them to you. 🙂

All of the files are in their original OpenSCAD format, so you'll need to download OpenSCAD first to open them, and then export them as STL.

The zip file contains the following:

- LCD Cover
- New Y-Belt Holder with Reinforced Pegs
- Y-motor brace (the part you're asking about)

This is also a "fixing parts" folder for the little green clamps the assembled printers ship with, which might be useful for you if you plan on transporting the printer.

All of these will eventually be in the GitHub repo, but for now they are here. 🙂

Thanks! I don't need them today, but someday I might.

Awesome sauce! Thank you.

Converted them to STL (ASCII and Binary) and attached them to this post. Also attached my conversion of the new LCD supports.

I can't say I've noticed this new LCD cover before? Shouldn't it have the Prusa name on it? Also what are the two small flat tabs for?

Did you run the STL's through Netfabb or some sort of repair tool first to make sure there are no problems? OpenSCAD has a history of producing faulty STL's that slice incorrectly and I now run all OpenSCAD exports through Netfabb as policy.

I have been advised that the SCAD file isn't in the repo yet because the code is not quite polished yet, but the STL it generates is all correct.

The "ears" on the LCD are to help keep it from curling during printing. They can be clipped off afterwards. I can say from personal experience that they do work, and I recommend printing it with the ears and then clipping them.

Ayourk, thank you. Your model was shared with me via Facebook and I printed it out. Perfect fit
