Ender 3 (Pro) Spring Guides

thingiverse

Human: *Update* - 02/01/2020 - The spring guide for the cable mount is now compatible with the cable chain mount from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060 *Initial upload* - 01/01/2020 **Note that these guides are designed specifically for springs with an outer diameter of 8mm.** ### Why? The original compression springs on my Ender 3 Pro print bed mount were buckling, which made them unreliable. To keep the springs in shape while compressing them, I created these guides to ensure a smooth and stable printing experience. ### What does it do? Using these guides should reduce the frequency of leveling your bed, making it easier to maintain a consistent print quality. ### Files included: - Top part for the guide - Bottom part for the guide - Shorter bottom part for the original cable mount / cable chain mount ### Optional hardware: - 4x nut M4 for added stability - 8x washer for M4 for extra support ### What to print: - 4x Top guides for optimal performance - 3x Bottom guides for a stable printing experience - 1x Bottom guide for the original cable mount *Note that if you don't want the thread on the upper guide, just print the lower guide 7 times (+1 for the cable mount) instead.* ### Your feedback: Please let me know what changes or improvements you would suggest to make these guides even better.
