Another option would be to construct the bed plate as a bent component. Even small tabs (5mm) on all edges would increase the stiffness significantly.

I tend to have a little sag in the middle of the build plate. Measuring fro front to back is near perfect, but left to right I am looking at a valley that is V-shaped (deep in front, getting less and lesser towards the back). Usually I just print a bottom layer with some overextrusion and go back to...

The X-Y block is somewhat similar to this: Link to eBay Being fed up with my original hotend munching through lots of teflon insulator inserts (PLA eating awa...

Now on to the topic: I made a design to decouple the feeder from the printer frame about two years back, when I got my UMO+. It ...
