- Thanks for watching!
Welcome to my video. I look at stabilising the K9 Mini 3D printer with custom brackets designed using Design Spark Mechanical 3D design software. The brackets can be printed in the 10x10x10 build volume. I have split up the X axis guide into 4 pieces which can be printed and stuck together using a suitable glue. There is an allowance of .5 mm which includes an allowance for glue thickness.
The idea for the X axis guide was borrowed (see resources section below* for the link).
Please be sure to check that the printer is still square before fixing down the brackets. Use a carpenter’s square or similar equipment. It may require some trial & error. The brackets can be used in any combination such as if the printer does not have a suitable vertical it could be clamped down to a base of plywood, MDF or particle board. Try to ensure that the board is straight in all directions before using it. This can be achieved by checking with a straight edge.
Materials may also be needed to make the spool holder / platform or other suitable base to which the printer can be attached.
NB. The base clamps require some additional thickness to clamp the base effectively. Double sided adhesive tape can be used in this application.
Please go to www.thingivers...
to download the bracket files (STLs). The .rsdocx files can be opened in Design Spark Mechanical and the files customised and modified according to your needs. Please post a make and or link if you are able or wish to redesign the brackets so that others may share.

Kind regards & Best wishes. (Happy designing & printing!)

The Yellow PLA is Elegoo PLA 1.75mm. It seems to print well and is strong. It seems like good value.

Nice video, please continue make more videos about Easythreed K9, is very helpful and help alot to lean about
Thank you so much for your comment and watching the video. I will be making more videos for the K9. I have a lot planned. I really like the printer. It prints great. With the addition of the brackets it does become much more stable. In my next video I'll look at using squash ball feet for the printer. If its clamped to a board it gets a bit noisy but the squash ball feet make it quiet again. Kind regards & best wishes.
Cool! I am going to print it)
Thanks for watching the video. Nice to know it was useful. I decided not to use the vertical piece. Id suggest just using the Y bracket, the hold down brackets & the Z bracket. These seem to be effective without the X piece which is time consuming to make. Another guy did it better with a fitting and a vertical rod of metal. The fitting slides on the rod. th-cam.com/video/Yl032eD3_IM/w-d-xo.html
I think this is the better idea. Kind regards & best wishes for your 3D printing.
Good video! I downloaded the files. Are you using the ironing setting in cura for the smooth top surfaces.?
Yes. Ironing is on. Other settings too. Walls 1 and extra infill walls. The walls going right up to the surface create gaps. There is only 1 wall which is the minimum possible. Adding walls in the infill makes the model strong but the walls don't go right up to the top so there are no gaps that extend to the surface. I did go into it in one of my other videos. I will add a link. The video was long & covered a lot plus that. Ill edit my comment later with a link. Kind regards & best wishes.
I have some questions first is was the last piece you showed in the video printed on the 3d printer after the modification second can do you recommend this printer for projects wich require making designs that require a 3d printer?
Thank you for your comment. I have decided not to use the vertical piece for the X axis which is difficult to make and difficult to place effectively. Only the Z, Y & base brackets seem necessary. I have not shown a print in a video yet. I can only recommend the K9 now if the budget you have is very limited. There are other printers which are significantly better and can be bought for $100 or there abouts eg the Kingroon KP3S or The Tronxy Crux 1. These are good printers for a very cheap price and also the Bambu Lab A1 Mini which is under $200 and is one of the best printers ever made presently. It is in a class of its own. Should your means be in the $100-200 bracket the Bambu Lab A1 Mini is the absolute top recommendation. The Easy Threed K9 is of acceptable quality for a person with a very limited budget. Kind regards & best wishes.
when i print with k9 the object be melted what is the problem ?
You could post a query on Facebook on the group for the EasyThreed printers. They may be able to help. Its better to explain exactly what the problem is and then take photos to show if you got any print, what the print looked like. Kind regards & best wishes
Your extractor/nozzle is probably too close to the printer bed. Ideally the filament should be applied like a very thin string of toothpaste that still grips the surface.
There's 3d printing forums on Reddit with excellent resources on how to level your printer bed while it starts printing.
@@Peannlui Thanks for contributing.Hope fully the person can get their problems resolved. Id like to do something about creating a community etc but I do already find having the time to do things difficult so I'm not sure.
Great video, I used two of your brackets on my K9 and designed my own x-axis vertical stabilizer bracket that I hope should help with the x-axis arm droop.

Thanks for your comment & watching the video. Im glad it was useful. I decided not to use the X channel piece because it was too fiddly to install and stopped proper access to the printer. It seems a good trade off not to use it. I don't know if you'd consider posting your own design on Thingiverse. I think people could benefit and it helps the community as a whole. Kind regards & best wishes.
@@NightStarLeafTech-vj3ez It is on thingiverse, The links are in the description on my video.
@@3DMaker2024-i Thanks. I watched your video just now. Thanks for giving the channel a mention!. Looking at your set up, are you using Octoprint? I have just started trying to use Octoprint but the hot end temperature is not reported correctly. If you don't mind me asking, what does your temperature show? Kind regards & best wishes.
@@NightStarLeafTech-vj3ez Looking at Octoprint right now, using 180c & 210c target temps. The temperature tab shows correct temps, as does the M105 command in the terminal.
@@3DMaker2024-i Thanks. Mine is problematical on temp. I'll have to see what can be done with it. Im glad I know that it does work with others. Kind regards & best wishes. Great video BTW.
