¶ April 2024 Update:
There are two versions of columns available in the current market, and they are randomly shipped as part of normal production changes. Please refer to the actual packaging of the machine you received for accurate information.
Version details: One version of the frame with screw holes(see Figure 1 below), while the other version of the frame without screw holes.
If your printer does not have screw holes in the columns, please follow the instructions below for installation without the need for additional screws. However, if your printer has screw holes in the columns, you can use the four ST3-8 stabilizer screws provided in the accessory box for additional tightening after completing the installation steps outlined below.
The Z-axis Stiffener model on Maker World is now the latest version. Regardless of which version of the printer frame you have, the new model on Maker World will be compatible.
