Ender 3 Z-Axis Stepper Mount / Adjusting Aid

thingiverse

*Initial upload* - 01/01/2020 ### Why is this Necessary? The original Ender-3 / Ender-3 Pro Z-axis mount has a major flaw in its design. My Z-Axis lead screw always tilted slightly too far when I tightened the two button head screws of the original fastener, which caused problems with my printer's performance. ### What Does it Do? This part allows you to mount the Z-Axis stepper perfectly to the extrusion. The two threaded rods enable you to adjust the angle of the Z-axis lead screw exactly as needed. ### Files Included: - **Top Part**: This is designed to be mounted on the Z-stepper. - **Bottom Part**: This is meant to be slid into the aluminium extrusion. As an alternative, you can use one of many M3 drop-in nuts available online, such as this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607. My design has the added benefit of keeping the rods parallel. ### Additional Hardware Required: - 2x screw M3x10 - 2x hex bolt or threaded rod M3x50 - 6x nut M3 (size: 5,5mm, height: <= 2.8mm) - 6x spring washers for M3 ### Your Feedback is Appreciated: If you have any suggestions on how to improve this part, please let me know!
