About this model

Based on the brilliant design of Matsekberg, here are some improvments: - a full Y-axis motor support including the left part, diagonal stiffeners and an enlarged right part that can be attached inside the cylindric hole of the ANET back plate. (All this to improve rigidity) - the Y axis motor support allows to add an external back plate carbon stiffener that will make a very robust frame (please see also my exokeleton Even if it remains optional (it will do great job without),I think this is a must. if you do not install this carbon rod, there might remain some flexion of the back plate when applying pressure on the belt. The right rod is pushing the support and the back plate still moves. And during fast prints you can feel vibrations induced by the motor and the Y carriage at the center…
