3d printed Y-Axis stiffener

This is my 3d printed take on the Y-Axis stiffener:

This is an addition to 3d printed X-Axis stiffener for older models

You need the following parts:

Again, I think this is an awesome solution, after just placing 1, the whole flexing of the Y axis stopped. Opposite to the other available solutions:

  1. Is very lightweight (11g in plastic per unit)
  2. It is completelly removable, does not even leave scratches or marks on the rails
  3. It is almost invisible/looks nice
  4. Removes all the flex

I know there is Working on 3D printed Y axis stiffening brackets but, while it is a good approach, it is a complicated version that does not use the rail slot itself as part of the stiffening.
