Working on 3D printed Y axis stiffening brackets

It works! I installed 4 of the brackets which fasten the Y axis to the waste board mounting holes and 4 on each side of the brackets which fasten the Y axis to the table the X-Carve is sitting on. I’ve updated the Thingiverse page with the final designs. I tested the result with peck drilling on 3/4" ply and noticed a significant improvement in lack of Y rail flex. So I’m declaring victory and moving on to whatever comes next.

Hello. I am interested in this but unfortunately I don’t have a 3D printer. Is it possible to buy a set from you?
Thank you

I hadn’t planned on selling them, but anything’s possible. I just figured out the final parts count:
Total parts required (as I installed, fewer brackets might be sufficient):
4 x printed waste board mounted brackets
8 x printed counter mounted brackets
24 x M5 pre-assembly nuts
24 x M5-10 button head bolts
4 x M5-30 button head bolts
8 x 1 1/4" course thread Kreg pocket screws (and you’ll need a square driver for them)

What’s a fair price for that?

I don’t live in the US so I have no idea how much that would cost. However I have a shipping address in USA FL. I will accept a fair price with the cost of your labor of course
