Bed Riser for Folgertech FT-5

thingiverse

**UPDATE: This part has been completely redesigned and the newer version should be used instead, as it uses less plastic, offers more rigid mounting, and looks better.** The purpose of this part (usually three or four in quantity) is to lift the bed of an FT-5 printer by 48mm. Why would you want to do that? Because I designed a new carriage assembly for FT-5, BMG extruder, RJ45 cable connector board, and BLTouch, with the goal of keeping the nozzle as close as possible to the MGN12H bearing slider. However, this brought the nozzle so far up that the stock FT-5 bed wouldn't reach it! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3688067 These bolts replace the M3 screws and springs (which suspend the heated bed) and then use the old springs and screws to remount the bed in its new position, 48mm higher. Print this part in the orientation specified in the STL file for maximum strength; supports are not necessary.
