Crusader panel braces and clips are designed for 2020 extrusions with primary aim to secure back panel BUT can be used for any panel of your choice.
These braces and clips are designed with one aim only — to provide as much sturdiness as possible and secure panels as tight as possible. Designed for Voron and more. Your ADXL tests might love these as rattling panels are common cause for vibrations leading to VFA's at higher print speeds.
(Visualisation does not represent actual proportions for 250 and larger size frames. Check “Makes and Comments” section for more representation as IRL.)
Version for 4mm panels; and 4mm panels + (very) beefy foam are provided in REV1.
STEP file is published as well, feel free to mod/remix.
