Sturdier printed Z axis for prusa i3

Description

This Is A Printed Frame For The Prusa I3 The Design Seeks To Improve Upon The Rigidity Of Earlier Designs By [Kknapp](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:118020) While Still Taking Less Time To Print Than Designs By [Chocjulio66 Et Al.](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:146061). The Frame Can Be Assembled Incrementally - Only The Corner Braces Are Absolutely Necessary, The Rest Can Be Printed Out And Tacked On To Provide Additional Rigidity. The Frame Is Built Around A Skeleton Of Six M8 Threaded Rods. On Their Own, The Threaded Rods Are Able To Be Bent, But When Encased In Plastic They Form A Sturdier Composite Material. This Composite Helps To Increase The Stability Of The Frame, Thereby Reducing X Axis Backlash.
