SnapMaker 2.0 Tool Head Roller Brace (For X-Axis CNC Stiffening)
Description
Detailed build, assembly, and testing video Coming soon! This modification is designed to work in conjunction with my other brace for the Z-axis here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5826131 This is the second addition to my roller bracing set and is something I have been trying to figure out for the last year. The Snapmaker 2.0 (SM) has a good deal of slop in its linear modules so I wanted to completely remove this. Some may say "you just need to open up and tighten the internal rollers in your linear modules" but believe me when I say that is not the issue... It is a pretty well known fact in the SM community forums that these machines have a number of shortcomings especially when it comes to the rigidity and constraints of motion in its linear modules while using the CNC functionality. Therefore I have created this mod in conjunction with my Z-axis brace which is very easy and cheap for anyone to implement! The goal of this specific mod is to remove the slop in the tool head by bracing it on either side. This effectively removes all slop of the tool when making CNC cuts which improves the tolerance of the end product and prolongs tool life.
