How to reinforce the Y-axis with the stand

Post by onki » Mon Jan 14, 2019 10:09 pm

Hi,

I am a bit unhappy with the stability of my I3 Aluminum.
When I press the button to release the filament from the extruder I can see how the whole upper part is moving. I am a bit afraid that this will affect my bed calibration.
Is there any way to reinforce the printer mechanically?
The idea is to bulit a strut between the M10 threaded ends of the Y-axis and the upper part of the printer so the whole construction is a bit more solid.

Has someone ever done such a modification?

Best regards
Onki
