Y-axis cross-rib clamp

Made a small part to clamp the bearing under the bed. It was an attempt to reduce the griding/ratteling sound when the Y-axis moves fast. I think it helped a little bit.
It can surely be debated if it is needed or any good but anyway; here it is.

Independently almost identical solutions to the same problem, that has mean that its a good design winking smiley
Yours seem to have a better grip on the bearing but on the other hand it needs support material.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi fotomas

I designed a clamp about 18 months ago and have been using it ever since with no problems.

Search Thingiverse for 'Ormerod front bearing bed clamp' It might help you.

Kind regards
