"Everything will be alright as long as you have your -ing potato." - Mr. Tulip, to Mr. Pin, The Truth, by Terry Pratchett

"See a pin and pick it up, and all day long you’ll have a pin!" - Stanley Howler, Going Postal, by Terry Pratchett

A full pin mod for the AB motor mounts, XY gantry joints and front idler tensioners for the Voron v0.2

  • AB motors mounted solidly to the frame, meaning no more shunting them back and forth with a bulky tensioning nut.
  • Tension is now applied through an M3 screw in the front idlers, and all bearing stacks run on pins rather than screws.
  • MGN7H (stock) and MGN9C X rails are supported, with no travel loss.
  • Pins are standard M3 off-the-shelf sizing, for those unable to cut their own
  • LazyCam Support
  • MGN9H BETA
  • Nema 17 AB Motor Mount Beta
