The original design is pure genius! Kudos to Meermeneer for creating it! I made two significant tweaks: * The Leg now features a 2.95 mm hole for 3mm screws, providing rock-solid stability without needing any drilling or heating. * The Foot has been completely overhauled to accommodate 3mm screws as well, boasting a spacious flat bottom and an easy-to-use turning knob that doubles as a calibration tool. Assembly instructions are straightforward: 1. Mount the switch holder to the frame, then add the switch. 2. Insert a M3x35 or similar screw through the legs' hole. 3. Attach the foot to the screw, but be gentle – too much tightening can deform the bottom surface. You can secure the screw in place with glue for added stability. Calibration is a breeze: 1. Turn the screw using the six-sided foot. 2. Enjoy your perfectly calibrated printer! A crucial note: A well-calibrated printer is essential for the screws to fit snugly into the holes. If they don't fit, simply scale up the model by 1-3% and try again. For a level heatbed, check out http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2044801. To set up your z axis, remember that one complete turn of the M3 screw corresponds to 0.5 mm.
