About this 3D model

This is a replacement Y rod mount for MendelMax type printers. I have uploaded a stl part for both normal 8mm rods as well as the larger 10mm rods. Advantages over stock part: 1. Clamps rods to aluminum extrusions, ensuring more level travel 2. Since rods are higher, less Y carriage elevation is needed leading to a lighter carriage. 3. Uses little plastic. Consists of just 4 small parts. 4. Parametric Advantages over my V1 minimal mount: 1. Fewer parts/easier to assemble/easier to print 2. Uses M5x20 socket head screws which are already recommended for MendelMax builds. Socket heads are also easy to tighten from the side with pliers. M5x16 might work with 8mm rod, change m5_length to 16 and try. 3. 10mm Y-rod ready, change rod_diameter to 10 and print 4. Beefed up for durability (I recommend ABS or Polycarbonate for durabilities sake) Release under CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 by Thomas Fulenwider a.k.a. cobra18t
