Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Z-Axis Stabilization clip with 608 bearing

thingiverse

This is my first foray into 3D printing; please pardon any mistakes I make along the way. After successfully printing an interesting design of 608 Bearing by Xtruder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3002837) on my brand-new and very first 3D printer, the Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D, to test its capabilities, and achieving a great result with a 0.3mm nozzle and 0.12mm layer thickness using PLA for the first time, I decided to print "Ender 3 Z-axis stabilizer, 608 Bearing, slide fit" by drwerderitch (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3492069) but unfortunately couldn't get one to fit snugly into the other. So, I gave it a shot and combined two things together. I reduced the thickness of the stabilizer's body to match the height of 608, left the 2020 fitting as is, allowing for the easy installation of a Z-axis knob, and enlarged the central hole on the bearing to 8.2 mm to fit smoothly into the z-axis without compressing the moving parts. The total print time was 1 hour and 50 minutes with Ender 3 Pro after slicing with Ultimaker Cura 4.4 and printing over Octopi. If your bed level is calibrated precisely, you simply need to move small parts up and down to free them to turn around; do not use a screwdriver to turn them.
