Combined Lead Screw Bracket and Bed Mount by ThinkSnow

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I found that the motor mounts for the Z-axis couldn't slide out far enough for the lead-screws to line up. Since I'm building the 300x300 version, I wanted to make use of the middle-of-the-bed heatbed mounting points along the side, too, so I couldn't just flip the Z-axis bed supports from the inside to the outside of the O & P rails. Options some people have used were cutting a notch out of either the 2x1 plate or the motor mount itself, but I didn't want to degrade the strength of the parts.
So, here's a combined bed mount and motor mount that you can use in place of a middle bed mount, if you're looking for that sort of thing.
All measurements for the bed support are the same:
34mm hole, 34 mm from the edge, 118 mm deep for the screw
30mm x 60mm x 90mm rectangular hole for the nut
The lead screw mount is identical, save that it's 3/16 thicker. The counter-sunk screw holes are the same distance from the rail as before, so you can use the same screws.
