In case you removed the PSU from your Prusa MK2(S)/MK2.5 (for example if you place it outside of an enclosure) and you have a Bear Half Upgrade, this brace will enhance the stiffness of the frame, preventing wobbling of the z-axis.

In addition to the printed part, you will need:

  • 2x M5 screws (about 10 mm) and T-nuts
  • 2x M4 screws with nuts
    Details

  • Please keep the orientation of the object, as the shape of the holes are modified to account for a slight sagging on the top.

  • The object needs NO SUPPORTS. For the holes on the bottom side, the file includes a 0.20 mm (one layer) bridging which acts as support. After printing, this "cover" can be easily removed with a drill and a knife. See pictures and for further details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NGdv86D1x8
