This should be by far the easiest Z-rod upgrade for your printer. Check out my construction video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B00FgQPo8bj/ Be sure to follow me on insta: @b03tz3D (https://www.instagram.com/b03tz3d/) Here is the download link for STEP files and such: https://a360.co/2YtN8cA  Credit me if you do anything with it :) The topbraces are a VERY PRECISE fit so be sure not to overextrude or you will need to do some sanding :) Everything prints without supports! Printing tips---------------- I printed everything at 75% infill, except the screws, those were printed at 85%. But to be fair, if you print with 3 parameters you can easily get away with 50% infill or less (don't use less then 30%). It is a very strong mount! Stuff you will need (not a lot!)------------------------The only things you will need are (which you cannot print):- 2x M8 rod (56cm or 22 inches)- 4x M3 screw / bolts For the M3 screws print these drop-in T-nuts: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607Trust me, they are very strong and can easily handle this job! If you don't want to use them you can also use M4 with metal drop-in T-nuts if you want. Construction order:------------------------- - Slide in top brackets- Screw the topscrews on the M8 rod- Screw the M8 rod into the bottom brackets (make sure it's snug and tight)- Slide the topscrews in their slots- Adjust / tension the whole setup (I made it so that it pulls on the frame)
