Back or Front Z Brace and Z Extensions (Z-Kit) by FilamentCorner

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

I have been using both the Z-Braces and Z-Extensions from AzzA for sometime. They did the job needed at hand. My only problem was that the threaded rod got in my way. So the solution was to find some Z-braces that would not attach to the front. I simply could not find a set that did not use the front for the threaded rods. Not only that I was using some dampeners made to fit AzzA Z-braces. So I made my own braces that would still allow me to use the dampeners.
My solution was to just combine both things into one. This Z-Brace attaches to the side Z -Extensions rather than the front. This allows people the option to place the Z-braces on the front or the back. I only have a wanhao i3 v2 so I cannot say if this will work with other printers.
Thing to note is that there is not enough space to use the nut covers on the extension parts. You can see that in the pictures. You can see more by watching our video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dEAQhl3Z5w
