About this model

UPDATES! 5/14/17- Was notified that the brake is a bit too strong for some printers, Created two more versions. P1 Clearance is .1 more clearance and P2 clearance has .2 more. Comment if you would like to see more clearance than that. #Results 4/19/17- After the initial installation of this i aligned by X carriage perfectly horizontal by measuring with a digital caliper from the X rods to the Z axis stepper mounts. Since then, the carriage has not changed one bit. I have not had to adjust my auto level sensor, and before this mod i had to adjust it every day. This is the best mod i have ever done for my printer, and its super easy! #Just a tip! After you install this, level your X carriage from the frame to the x axis rods, its very important that you level it to the rods, then make a mark…
