svg laser cutting:

These files go with the last machined version.

A color code help distinguished pieces from the core structure (red) the mobile X axis (blue) and the mobile Y axis with frame adaptor (green). The color code is only here for a quick identification.

File for the Brother frame adaptor( Be careful various types exist in the brand) support_cadres_brother.stl

You will also need a square plastic profile U shaped (2 cm lenght) for the structure of the adaptator.
