Re-enforced Gantry Mounts for Voron 2.4 & Redoubt by Annex Engineering
What’s that?
This new z joint has been developed for Redoubt but is backwards compatible with V2.2 and V2.4. The main advantage being that the gantry is now 13mm closer to the linear rails. Internal testing has shown that there is a noticeable improvement and less ringing for the Y axis. The ball head screw also allows the gantry to move smoothly in the printed part in comparison to the old design where layer lines rubbed each other. The pre-tensioning mechanism allows you to have zero play in the joint. The belt clips don’t have to come loose to swap the z joint and lastly due to its compact size full travel of the linear rails is possible. Compatible with a 0.6 nozzle and 0.3LH.

The re-enforced gantry mounts are a fantastic addition to the Voron 2.4, used on a 300mm build, these are extremely easy to install and a perfect replacement for the stock mounts. The part itself was a simple to print and provided fixings includes spares in case you should ever need them.
It should be noted that there are few instructions online for the initial install on a Voron 2.4 however these simply replace the original Z Joint Upper and Z Joint Lower, combining the two. The ball head screws only need to be installed snug and not clamped down too tightly, the printed spacer only needs to provide a small amount of friction so the metal grub screw should only be flush with the bottom of the mount, though the fins on the spacer do a great job of stopping any overtightening.
Print quality improvement is somewhat subjective however in my limited testing there is no detrimental impact and a noticeable reduction in ringing on the Y axis specifically.
