K10 Z-Axis brace

I designed this brace to eliminate play in the Z-axis column of the EasyThreed K10 printer, which causes inconsistency in vertical calibration and affects print quality.

See the brace’s easy assembly and how it stiffens the Z-axis in this short video: https://youtu.be/pC5cGxU-CAU

Key Features: * Bayonet Mount: The brace connects directly to the existing bayonet plug at the base of the Z-axis extrusion and clicks firmly into place.

* Customizable Support: Two M4 threaded screw holes allow you to attach a brace material of your choice. I used a 2.5 mm thick aluminum sheet, which provides excellent stiffness and stability.

* Improved Accuracy: Once installed, the brace eliminates wobble and ensures consistent Z-axis calibration and print accuracy, even on longer prints.

Build Notes: * Orientation: Print with the bayonet receptacle side facing down on the bed.

* Supports: Only the middle section (bayonet receptacle) requires support.

* Filament: PLA.
