MakerFarm i3v x-idler bracket plate by Printbus

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

During the initial build of the i3v printer, I cut away the upper left corner of the x-idler mounting plate in order to provide better fit alongside the right-side z-nut bracket. In replacing the stock z-nut brackets with RickSisco's http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:769057, I wanted a new plate without the trimmed corner.
Two STL versions of the x-idler plate are provided. One is 48mm long, a direct replacement for the stock wood plate. The other is 60mm long, which covers the two horizontal v-rails completely and may provide a better mechanical installation for the x-idler.
The plate leverages the roundCornersCube script from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8812 to provide the option for round corners on the plate. The provided STL files were created with the corner radius set to 2mm.
