To add stability, X5S frame was assembled onto a 26mm thick square of laminated both sides counter top type material. It's good dimensional stability and very flat surface make a great foundation to build on. I wanted to attach the X5S to this so I made 4 of these corner angles which help to square up the frame as well as attach machine to slab. The angle is held to frame using 4 "T" nuts each. The angle has a raised lip on one side that goes against the wider 40mm side of frame upright. This serves as a stop to square the 40mm wide upright against. Note: 4 needed so mirror attached .stl file to make 2 of the angles. Printed with CR-10S in PLA with .2 layer height, 5 perimeters, 5 top/bottom layers, 215 deg, 60 deg bed temp and I like to print on mirror. Next prints I may just go to higher infill like maybe even 100% since part isn't that big anyway. I did notice a minor bit of compression into angle of "T" nut 4mm screw head, so definitely use washer under head and or print with higher infill amount than I inititally did, like 60 or even 100% infill. If you can find a suitable beefy and VERY level slab to mount your printer to it will go far to insure a squared up build and also I find it is easier to move printer around, it slides on counter I have it on very nicely with this base, I can simply grab base and spin it around to access different areas of printer without disturbing the frame in any way. Just lift entire printer by base if it needs to be moved and again, no…
