Easy Fit i3 z-axis anti wobble

Made for my CTC i3 clone.
Its was a cheap diy kit printer and came with basic 8mm threaded rod for the z-axis.
To start with I was happy with the prints from this cheap printer, but over time I wanted to improve it. but sticking to the cheap and easy method.
I was getting a lot of wobble on my z-axis... so decided to upgrade the rods to 8mm lead screws... but before that.... I'd go cheap (the lead screws are cheap enough anyway!)

By separating the threaded drive nut from the z-axis assembly, It allows you to lose the wobble of the threaded rod in the joint... the x axis is still lifted, but and movement in the rod is not passed to the rigid x axis assembly and therefore - not into your print...

Next challenge was to make it easy to fit... preferable without stripping the printer apart.

This is done with 2 slots in the mount - allowing it to be passed vertically between the threaded bar and the guide rod. Then rotated flat and screwed into place.

Note: You may need to sand the inside edges slightly to allow a snug but not tight fit on the guide rod.

The prints are a lot nicer - I'll try and find some prints to show before and after.

Happy making.

V2 - I've added a Version 2 with nicer finished edges.

V3 - I've now upgraded to 8mm lead screws - the nut was a little larger so this is an edited version that fits the larger diameter rim on the nuts.

Edit - Now added left and Right parts for V2 and V3 - saves having to duplicate the part and mirror it.
