The file 'BQ Prusa I3 Z Axis Screw Support 3D Printer Model' is (IGS,STEP,STL) file type, size is 34.0KB.
If, like me, you have a BQ Prusa i3 you'll probably see the Z axis screws wobble and maybe even hear squeaking sounds on large Z axis moves. Well, I designed this little "top hat" to support the Z axis screw by clipping it to the 8mm smooth rod. It fits into the space of the top supports and dose not reduce the print envelope. It reduces the wobble and stops any squeaking sounds.
As usual the .STL, .STEP and .IGS files are available for all your modifying needs. Enjoy :)
Please check out my Youtube video showing the Z axis noise and my design process for this part.

Oh, you'll need to print 2 of course.
