Print 2 of each. Printed .4 nozzle, 60 % cubic infill, 3 walls. Should work with most materials.</p><p><i><strong>Install:</strong></i></p><p>Put one in each corner. Install on top of bed carriage facing downward with springs/spacers on top of the clips, so that the thumbs interact with the wheels.&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>Testing and Printer Compatibility:</strong></i></p><p>Tested in PLA and PETG, with stock springs, yellow springs, and silicone spacers. Tested on Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, and Voxelab Aquila (Ender 3 v2 clone). &nbsp;Tested for about 2 months now and still working great. Have not tried any other printers, so let me know! Made in Tinkercad so you can remix it with relative ease!</p><p><i><strong>Tinkercad Link:</strong></i></p><p><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i><a href="https://www.tinkercad.com/things/69ceT8qP3fd">https://www.tinkercad.com/things/69ceT8qP3fd&nbsp;</a></p><p><i><strong>Use:</strong></i></p><p>Lift up tabs and spin wheels freely for big adjustments, and click the wheels against the tabs for small adjustments.&nbsp;<br>These let you release the tension on the bed springs and minimize warping while still holding a consistent level over time. Pretty much set it and forget it bed leveling. When I do have to level, the clip thumbs click against the wheels, making for easy and consistent adjustments.&nbsp;<br><br>These had me switch from glass and glue to spring steel PEI, without any need for auto bed leveling systems like a BLTouch. They really made a magnetic spring steel PEI bed work great and carefree. I linked my preferred build surfaces below.&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>Inspiration:</strong></i>&nbsp;</p><p>I got these sweet bed leveling wheel clips designed by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/monsieurglad">monsieurglad</a> on thingiverse, for my kingroon kp3s printer, <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4893883">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4893883</a>&nbsp;<br>I had never thought of a bed leveling solution like that before! Genius!&nbsp;<br>I saw in the comments someone asking for them for the Ender3. I searched and found a dead link on Thingiverse, and it had been reposted on Cults3d: <a href="https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/heavy-duty-ender-3-bed-leveling-wheel-detent-clips">https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/heavy-duty-ender-3-bed-leveling-wheel-detent-clips</a> . Those have a good looking layout and thumb concept, but require supports to print and did not work exactly how I wanted, so I designed these! &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>I think these could become a standard on new printers!&nbsp;</strong></i></p><p>I put them on all my printers at least!&nbsp;</p><p>Please download them from Prusa Printers, but also here is the link to the tinkercad so you can modify and adapt them to your own printer!&nbsp;<i><strong> </strong></i><a href="https://www.tinkercad.com/things/69ceT8qP3fd">https://www.tinkercad.com/things/69ceT8qP3fd&nbsp;</a><br>&nbsp;</p><p>Please post your remixes linked to this page if you would be so kind!
