Di3 Thumbwheel Bed Dial

prusaprinters

<p>For M3 stainless steel nut that are 5.5mm wide.</p> <p>I tried the other thumb wheel on here, but it did not fit the M3 nuts I got from my local Ace Hardware.</p> <p>I used a black Sharpie marker to give some contrast.</p> <p><strong>November 2016 UPDATE:</strong> I have a new design that is smaller, a bit pointier, and works with more printers.

I used 25% honeycomb fill using S3D. May want to print at 0.2 mm for a quicker print and then use them to fine tune for a better print.</p> <p>Was suggested by the fine folks at: <a href="http://3dprinterbrain.com/pmwiki.php/DupI3/RecommendedMods">http://3dprinterbrain.com/pmwiki.php/DupI3/RecommendedMods</a></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
