AM8 Reinforced!

Fusion 360 files have been released for all! Feel free to edit to your needs guys. Take a look at some of the parametric settings. If you want to change the rod spacings, it's made easy to do so.



Introduction
----------------------------
Working on reinforcing the AM8 mounts. Noticed that my mounts are currently starting to warp due to the stressed exerted on by the motors. The purpose of reinforcement them is to make the printer more rigid for higher speeds and to increase the life of the parts. The pieces are a tight fit but they hold up and are very rigid.

Everything was printed in PETG at 70% infill at .28 layer height. You do not have to print at that high of a layer height but I did to save time. PETG is optional and I only chose it as I had a full roll of it to play with.

Currently some of the holes need some supports to avoid sagging if you are printing at big layer heights as I am, but for the most part, they are easy to take out and just clean up the print.
