I really liked this design as it was way less printing than the fully printed options so I remixed this as I thought 8mm ali tube would be more than strong enough and something easily available. Looks nice too as I got some that is anodised. You can get it from most DIY shops in the UK, mine came from Wickes (pic included)
I took the merlindrz design, imported into Solidworks and did some remodelling to suit.
I found the design seemed to be for a 5mm thick plate for the front support whereas the plate on my Ender 5 is 4mm thick.
I thickened up the rear clamp halve that take the tube to have hex sockets for M4 nylocs.
sockets for the tubes are modelled at 8.1mm as I made no shrinkage allowance at all. Tubes were very tight fit initially, an 8mm drill (which was loose) must have taken high spots of and fit was then snug but usable.
To fit I removed bed assembly, fitted front support piece, the tubes, then the rear clamp halves (which are handed). Then re-fitted the bed and fitted
