I made most of them, but some are remixed from existing parts, so Thanks to:

(For axes expansion)

“ZUK3D” for its well designed “MP Select Mini V2 bed mod brackets”

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2731480

“Geonovast” for its excellent “MPSM Z-Axis expansions”
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2387368

 

(For optional improvements)

“MysteriousMaker” for its great “MPSM V2 Fan Duct 40mm”
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4647690

“monsieurglad” and its clever “Low friction spool holder”
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4720124


IMPORTANT NOTICE about MPSM Versions

There is two versions of MPSM Y axe belt system, one with 3 pulleys, 2 idler pulleys and 1 motor pulley, and a second version (on some MPSM v1 i think) with only 2 pulleys.

Carriage brackets here are made for 3 pulleys version, if you have a 2 pulley version you'll have to modify belt parts positionning on stls files relative to offset.

So check your version !


Choosing filament

AT the beginning i made a mistake choosing my prettier and most “expensive” filament (Eryone PLA) that is perfect to make a cat but has very bad cohesion and is not strong enough for tools or printer parts. Now for this kind of part, i always use the cheaper filament, an “Ice Filament” or “Basicfil” PLA, there are perfect for strong pieces, it's really difficult to remove support with it or even a simple brim, but that's exactly what we are looking for, ultra-lamination and cohesion. (i recommand PLA that is the most stiffness filament).


PRINTING PARAMETERS

- About resolution i usualy use a 0.4 mm nozzle and "fine" or "normal" resolution (0.13125-0.175mm), but choose it according to your preferences (from finer to fast).

 - Verify you've at least 3 wall line count

- "Fill" is another story, some parts need, in my view, a high fill, for high stiffness.

- Supports: it depends on the parts, When needed : i set it to 10 to 20 % "Zig Zag" Supports

ADJUSTMENTS ADVICES

When Fill needed i chose "Grid"

Heatbed_Carriage_Brackets:

 

Fill: 100 %

Support: NO

Adhesion: Nothing

Tower_Spacer_35mm

 

Fill: 100 %

Support: NO

Adhesion: Nothing

Tower_Spacer_Motor

 

Fill: 100 %

Support: NO

Adhesion: Nothing or small brim

Wheel_Bracket

 

Fill: 100 %

Support: YES 10-20 % Zigzag

Adhesion: Nothing

Wheels

 

Fill: 100 %

Support: NO

Adhesion: Nothing or small brim

X_End_Block_with_Bearings

Fill: 50 to 75 %

Support: YES 10-20 % zigzag. Plan some work for remove it especially in holes, but you could try without support.

Adhesion: Nothing or brim

 

Belt_Tensionner_Parts

 

Fill: 50 to 75 %

Support: NO

Adhesion: Nothing

Z_Stabilizer_Brackets

 

Fill: 50 to 75 %

Support: YES 15 to 25 %

Adhesion: BRIM

Spool_Holder

 

Fill: 50 - 100 %

Support: NO

Adhesion: Brim

Fan_Duct

 

Fill: 20-50 %

Support: No (because hard to remove)

Adhesion: Brim

ALL OTHERS ==> FILL: 20 to 50 %


PRINT FACES ORIENTATION

I ajusted STLs files so models have proper orientation by default (relative to the face touching the plate). Of course you can rotate objects arround z axe, but don't touch others.

 

AVOID TURNING PARTS DIAGONALY, BECAUSE FILL LINES WILL BE PERPENDICULAR TO WALLS, IT WILL PRODUCT A VERY  FRAGILE STRUCTURE.


IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT heatbed_carriage bracket printing

 i’ve shortened the sides of genuine model to print it straightly (to avoid diagonally printing), but you’ll still have to modify X(depth) on printer setting in cura, and set it to 126 (yes it can, real limit of MPSM is 126)
