This is a further modification after increasing Z height of the printer, therefore without changes it is not compatible with unmodified MK2.
I printed with PETG, but PLA would probably work too. Recommended: 5 or more perimeters. Printed without supports.
Required:
1x 15x15x380mm (2mm thickness) aluminium profile
2x 10x10x400mm (1mm thickness) aluminium profile
6x M3x10
4x M3x12
4x M3x16
4x M3x20
18x M3 hex nut
Cut the aluminium profiles to appropriate lengths (see above) and drill holes with 3mm drill, as shown on the images below:
Insert hex nuts into inserts and slide them inside the aluminium profiles:
See photos for assembly.
