The file 'Lowered Y Motor Mount For AM8 W/ I3 Y Carriage 3D Printer Model' is (f3d,stl) file type, size is 329.9KB.
AM8 Y motor mount remixed for compatibility with the i3 bed carriage (also compatible with BLV MGN12 mod). Holds the Y motor lower and uses a belt idler above in the original position to shave off >1 cm vertical height from the Y mount to avoid collision with the bed.
The motor mount requires the same screws as the original (M5x10 button head for mount, M3x12 for motor), plus a 30mm m3 screw, m3 nylock nut, and a 16T GT2 idler, just like the stock Y belt tensioner at the other end of the Y axis.
03/Oct/2024: I forgot to leave space for the screw head for the holes behind the motor. Moved the motor out by 3.5mm to make room. A button head M5 has a 2.75mm deep head so should fit with a little clearance.
