Ender 3 - Adjustable Solid Bed Supports

thingiverse

Human: Replace the bed springs of the Ender 3 with solid supports that are adjustable and still allow for bed levelling, using PETG or ABS washers for better heat capabilities and PLA for the rest.\r\n\r\nThe MK2 features a larger adjuster that can be adjusted with one hand, its new base locks onto the bed support frame to prevent it from turning.\r\nA locating washer sits on top of the adjuster, providing necessary clearance under the bed, while the spigot fits into the adjuster.\r\nTwo additional washer thicknesses are included for covering a range of bed levels if needed, but the locating washer should suit most standard setups.\r\nThe standard base is used on three corners, with the cable connection corner (rear left) requiring the Cable Corner Base, which is compatible with Johnny Whiskey's Ender 3 Cable Chain; if not using a cable chain, use the Cover.\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060\r\n\r\nQuantities to print:\r\nMK2 Adjuster - one for each locating washer\r\nBase x three\r\nCable Corner Base x one {this is the only piece that requires supports}\r\nCover x one (only if not using cable chains)\r\nLocating Washer x four\r\n(my printer only needed a locating washer in each corner, and other washers can be printed as needed to achieve the appropriate thickness)\r\n\r\nOptional:\r\nWashers-2mm x four\r\nWashers-5mm x four\r\n\r\nI've left the old adjuster file up for now; if everything goes smoothly with the locating washer, I'll remove it soon.\r\nIf you already have the older adjuster, you can upgrade it to fit the locating washer by drilling an 8mm hole through it.
