The side panels on the Flying Bear Reborn2 were loose and we created some brackets that attach to the existing bolts on the bottom frame. The brackets require to drill holes in the side panels so that the panels can be screwed to the brackets. You are welcome to download the Flying Bear Reborn2 panel brackets at the MeowFire Public GitLab Repo.

6 brackets were printed out using a 0.6mm nozzle using PETG. The brackets are printed with the back side with the hole facing the print bed.

NOTE: You will need to print more than one Flying Bear Reborn2 panel bracket at a time as they are small and the PETG will not have enough time to cool if you print just one. It will cause the print to fail.

We had to use a tap to ensure that the threads would mesh with the bolts we were using for the side panels.

WARNING: When attaching the brackets to the bottom of the printer only loosen the bolts just enough to allow for the bracket to slide in the slot. The bottom bolts are attached to T-Nuts and you do not want to unscrew the bottom bolts all the way.

3 brackets were then attached to the bottom on each side and the hole was marked with a silver sharpie on the side panels. We then removed the side panels and drilled holes on our silver marks.

The Flying Bear Reborn2 side panels were reattached and then and we screwed them, from the outside, to the inside brackets. Be mindful when tightening the bottom bolts as they can break the brackets if too tight.

We reran Klipper Input Shaping as our hope is that the less rattling of the side panels would reduce vibrations and alter the resonant frequencies.
