Elegoo Mars replacement flatcap platform knob

thingiverse

I stumbled upon an intriguing post on the Elegoo Mars forum - https://www.elegoomars.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=123 - where I decided to tackle modifying the maximum Z-height on my Elegoo Mars printer, and successfully achieved it! The maximum print height jumped from 155 mm to almost 170 mm. Modifying parameters in your printer requires caution, so be careful when doing so (the link provides more information). Afterward, I noticed that when my printer finished printing, it went all the way up and lifted the orange lid slightly because the platform knob was too thick. To resolve this issue, I created a thinner version using a filed down M10 bolt and a simple Tinkercad .stl file, ensuring my lid stays securely in place!
