Ender 3 Z screw protection

prusaprinters

<p>I have a plastic dust cover that I throw over my Ender 3 when it's not in use. I'm usually careful when putting it on and taking it off that I don't snag the Z screw and accidently bend it.</p> <p>Since my family is using the printer more these days, I designed this thing to just protect the Z screw but leave it free to move (the Z screw is not 100% true/straight... holding it captive with a bearing or something will result in artifacts in your prints).</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3 Pro</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.16</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Duramic PLA+ Gray</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>The STL orientation has it standing on end... print this way and you will not need to use any supports.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
