IMPORTANT! DO NOT JUST PRINT 6 OF THESE. You'll need 3 Left and 3 Right braces -- so you'll need to MIRROR the design to get the second 3!

Corner reinforcement for an Openbeam 2020 Kossel. I wasn't sure I needed these, but the lack of rotational bracing on Kossel corners always bugged me so I gave this a try -- and it definitely does make a difference, albeit not a huge one. The structure is more rigid and ringing artifacts are tighter/smaller. I haven't put them on the top of mine yet, just the bottom, but they should have adequate clearance (at least on my linear Kossel).

Designed for M4x8mm bolts -- you'll need 4 per brace or 24 total. Use a fairly dense supporting grid for best results.

You'll also want to re-level your printer after installing these. I've had no printing issues since putting mine on and re-leveling.
