You all know that the geometry of Original Prusa i3 MK2 is quite tricky. When you have a flat and square frame, you would like to keep it flat ... a long time !
However if you move the printer you may wrap a little the XY frame and loose the XYZ calibration.
I have thus designed this reinforcement plate with two goals in mind :
- add some stiffness to the XY frame and keep it horizontal ... forever
dampen the vibrations with my squash ball feets Here is the result : it works really well, you just have to :
cut a wood base following the template (or better with a CNC -what I did-)
- Then fix the supports with four screws
- fix the dampeners on the bottom side : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2450161
put the printer on the supports and tighten it with four zip ties And that's it, your frame will remain absolutly flat, and you have a dampened printer !
