Ponoko RepRap - Bracing The Frame
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
The framework needs to be braced to stop it shaking, and also to keep the drive chains in tension. This is done with pieces of studding (that's threaded rod) that have clamps on the ends. We brace the framework on 5 sides, starting with the bottom. Get 8 of the teardrop-shaped clamps fromt he 5mm sheet together with the following:
- 2 off 650mm M8 studding
- 8 off M8 nuts
- 8 off M8 washers
- 4 off M3 25mm machine screws
- 4 off M3 nuts
- 8 off M3 washers
Make two diagonal braces, fit them (needs some clarification I know).
Now you are all set to install the X & Y axes.
