Ender 3 Leveling Wheel/ Knob

thingiverse

Designed for use with a post-processing script created with Cura or any other slicer you're using, this design is just as effective. You can also add a G-code script to pause at the point where it covers the hole for the locking nut. In the provided G-code, that would be layer 25 at a 0.24mm layer height. There's no other way to insert the required M4 NYLOC nut since it's enclosed and printed over to hold it in place with no additional adhesive. I've added the following files: STL STEP CURA GCODE FILE (PROVIDING POST PROCESSING SCRIPT FOR PAUSE TO ADD M4 NYLOC NUT) Simple, almost identical wheel for Ender 3 w/ M4 nuts The fit is very tight initially. I've since calibrated my printer better and may fit better with well-tuned printers. If they're too tight, reduce the flow rate on your part if using the G-code file or slicer for the STL. Alternatively, you can adjust horizontal expansion (settings dependent on how well your machine is calibrated). The Gcode is set to 0.24mm layer height with 4 wall and 4 top/bottom layers, ironing enabled with a flow rate cut to 93.5 (hence the reason to adjust flowrate via the control panel for some folks using the G-code file. The STL with 100% flow initially caused the nuts to fit very tight (too tight actually). So you've been forewarned to adjust settings accordingly. If you're unsure, print the first 15 layers and see how the nut fits. Also, place the nut in the hole with the flat side facing towards the top of the wheel. Enjoy
