is there any (structural) reason for Y-PSY-Part?

Hy, I re-built the MK2S without the Y-PSU part on the YRod because mine had the holes in such a way that I had to force the bolts and it would pull the ZPlate towards the back introducing unnecessary tension and screwing up ZPlate perpendicularity with the bed.

I need to know if there is any (and I don't see one whatsoever) reason why the PSU can't be screwed to the ZPlate alone, without the Y-PSU part? Is it supposed to prevent the ZPlate to tremble and wobble?

Thanks.

Hello Florin!

The part didn't exist in mk1 version (2015) and my machine is quite good without it. It is probably used to get rid of some bending of the z-axis when the heated bed moves fast. You can try bending the z-axis by grabbing the z-frame by hand at top and push/pull gently in the y-axis direction. This small bending is what the part is supposed to diminish. If you will print tall objects, then there may be some layers that get shifted by a small amount if this part is missing.
