CR-10 printed 2020 frame brace by dengistan

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The favorite Z frame brace solutions for CR 10 seem to be the ones with diagonal rods or the more expensive 2020 kits.
The kits felt more squared and elegant to me, but I didn't want to spend too much for a much cheaper alternative (great rigidity too!). Especially, the customization options it presents. Some I've used: relocate extruder, camera, spool and tool holder on to the 2020 profile. Add-ons for AM8 and CoreXY models can be easily adapted for your CR-10!
Parts needed:
2 X 600 mm profiles
2 X 270 mm
1 X 360 mm
12 X corner brackets
Total filament used was under 300 gms. (0.6 lbs).
Non-printed parts
Gorilla Super Glue
25 x Button head Screws (M5x8mm)
25 x Hammer-Nuts (M5)
To get 600 mm, welding 2 X 300mm profiles using super glue worked great! Assembly is pretty simple and the only tool you'll need is the M5 hex key that comes with the CR-10.
Enjoy!
