Anycubic Photon S - Adjustable Feet

thingiverse

Resin printers rely heavily on precise leveling due to their liquid-based technology. I was taken aback when the Anycubic photon S did not come equipped with adjustable feet. Removing the rubbers reveals a small hole that could easily accommodate a screw foot, making this a straightforward solution. To assemble, you'll need some basic tools, as I've designed the tolerances to be press-fit for added stability: a hammer or rock for pressing in the nuts, a hand drill for ease of use, an 8-32 NC thread cutter for precise threading, and a 7/8" wrench (or pliers) for handling the hardware. Here's what you'll need: * 4x 8-32 x 1" machine screws, easily found at any hardware store * 4x 8-32 nuts, also readily available at most hardware stores Once printed, use tweezers to clean up the overhanging material at the holes. Since scaffolding and supports are unnecessary, focus on precision rather than aesthetics. I recommend orienting the circular hole downwards. Begin by cutting threads in the nuts using a tap. Repeat this process for the printer after removing all four rubber feet. Set aside the feet, as they'll be attached to the bottom of the adjustable feet. Gently press the nut into its corresponding hole – it's designed to fit snugly. Next, carefully drill in the screw, taking care not to dislodge the nut. Secure the screw tightly, and ensure the head is recessed enough to accommodate the rubber feet. Repeat this process for all four feet before leveling your printer. Enjoy!
