Fly'NStrude with Geared Stepper Motor

[ZakRabbit]

Here are a couple pieces I'm going to try out with my metal max frame. I was planning on using Brian's Fly 'N Strude, but the fact that I chose a geared stepper kinda makes that a no-go. It's a two-piece design, with an adapter and top plate. The adapter raises the top plate 2.5mm (.100") above the stepper body to allow for attaching the bands, and I did my best to set the filament path as straight as possible when the machine is at X0Y0. I welcome any suggested modifications.

The Fly-n-Strude clamps to the geared stepper motor just fine. I have it setup that way on one of my MAX machines.
Not sure what mounting issues you are having?

[ZakRabbit]

It honestly didn't occur to me to install it this way until I had the adapter cut. I meant no disrespect at all.

@ ZakRabbit
yes, that is how I have one of my machines setup.
I see yours has a longer body stepper motor, but still mounts up. You will be a bit heavier and motor more offset, but it should be fine. Adjust bungees to make it hang mostly straight when at center of table.
