Anet A8 Hotbed Spring Cap (with m3 nut spacing)

thingiverse

I designed these spring caps because my heatbed screws are secured by an M3 nut right at the heatbed itself. This is due to the fact that I removed the threads from the h-bracket. Consequently, I needed some caps to account for this change. To obtain a complete set, you will need to print four of each cap. If your heatbed screw has not been secured with an M3 nut, simply print eight of the cap featuring a hole instead. I printed these spring caps in PLA, which works perfectly well for me, but if you frequently use a hotter hotbed, it would be better to print them in ABS or PETG. Print Settings: Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Layer height Notes: I used this Thingiverse design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2025060) with an M3 lock nut to adjust the hotbed.
