This is V2 of my earlier remix\u2026this should work much better with a Stock Ender-3 X Axis

Thanks to vajonam for letting me know and also for his remix

(side note: the V1 design was for my Ender 3 Pro that had a heavily modified X Axis)

This is yet another remix of Mknet's Z motor mount that I made for my ender 3 Pro.

Goals of remix:

1) Use T-Nuts

2) More rigidity

3) Better Z motor alignment to the Z extrusions

4) Overall larger mass

You'll need:

M5-12 screws and T-Nuts to attach mount to Z extrusion
M3-10 and M3-20 screws to attach motor to mount

I printed in PETG and a flat / non-textured PEI sheet
