Description
This is a replacement for the printrbot base. It will prevent both the Z axis and the Y axis stepper motors from bending outwards.
The bending problem is shown in the picture(s) below.
There is an alternative version available which integrates a support for attaching the Y-stop switch directly to the base.
** update : uploaded a V2 of the stl with Y-stop. It contained a little error which gave a manifold error while slicing.

Just replace the stock printrbot base with this thing.
There is one version with a support to attach the Y-stop switch. Just put a wire-strap through the holes and zip on your Y-stop switch. (You need only one base with a stopswitch). See this brookdrumm printrbot instructional video to see how the Y-stop switch holder works : bit.ly/IWGBpP

I Think that this is a great Idea I already had problems with the Prbot frame. Have you thought about adding larger feet to the bottom of the frame, Having worked with one tof this type I think that this is their largest problem, it move to much because of the weight of the motors
