Replicator 2X/2X Platform Reinforcement
Description
100% printable stiffeners for the bed platform arms. Whilst these are no Bottleworks arm upgrade, they are a cheap and easy option. Can be fitted with no hardware, simply pressed in. Printed in polycarbonate, with 4 shells all round and 25% honeycomb infill a 30% increase in platform stiffness was achieved when press fitted. Alternatively, with hardware fitted to secure the arms more positively, this was raised to about 40%. If you want to go down that path, requisite hardware is 6 M3x30 bolts to replace the existing M3x16 bolts holding the platform AND/OR 10 M4x16 bolts to be used as expanders in the square inserts. The m4 bolts are not designed to be flush, but rather the design makes allowance for a heat-pressed threaded insert if desired, though this isn't strictly necessary, as the hole clearance is such that the bolt should self tap anyway.
