Making a mini 3d printer using C-Beam aluminum frame

The C-Beam structure is often used with nema 23 motors, so to use it with nema 17 motors, I had to design a separate motor mounting structure and at the same time be able to change the clearance between the motor and the C-Beam to suit different lead screw lengths.

I looked for several ways to mount the 3D printer head to the chassis and this is the option I chose, this option allows me to change the distance between the printer head and the chassis, it is more flexible.

I used available pcb copper foil and mica sheet to make the printing table.

Another solution to a failed printhead mount.
