Adjustable Z Stop using stock hardware

thingiverse

I was feeling too lazy to head out to the hardware store, so I decided to modify the original design without having to spend that extra .75 cents. Well, let me tell you, I probably used $5 in filament just trying to get this done lol. Anyway, it was a fun print (at first) and turned out really sweet. Here are some notes: 1. When printing the block, try printing it upside down so the base is actually on top. 2. You'll need to chase the threads with a 4mm bolt; the block has internal threads already, but due to material shrinkage, it's necessary or you will snap the screw off and have to re-print the whole block all over again... trust me. Here's how I ended up printing these parts: .016 PLA (Hatchbox) 203 degrees 10% Support Zig-Zag with .016 top and bottom gap distance I use my own shapes like Cura's support block, but you can use whatever works; if you're having issues with Cura's temperamental support blocks, just try a different method on the preview. Cura seriously needs to fix this issue. Screw: The screw needs 75% infill. I used the support blocks in Cura for the support and made it about 3mm thick and about the size of a thin dime in diameter; it's easy to pop off the support. Block: 50-75% infill, 5-7 walls, with support blocks in Cura for the recesses - it's iffy. Knob: 25% infill, 5-7 walls Bracket: 50-75% infill, 5-7 walls, with support blocks in Cura. It's a fun print to do; enjoy and a huge thank you to JARRODASMITH for the great design!
