Hypercube 50mm Adjustable Leg

thingiverse

These legs for the 2020 bottom corners on the Hypercube (or any 2020 cube frame) allow you to lift the bottom extrusions off your workbench anywhere between 50-80mm. Each foot is easily adjustable to compensate for uneven worksurfaces, also allowing you to remove the inner 20mm brackets. Print Recommendations: I printed these in PETG with three perimeters, six top/bottom layers, and 20% gyroid infill. I also printed relatively hot so I could get better layer adhesion, requiring supports for the nut and screw head slots. This was likely overkill on my part, but I do intend for this to be a pretty mobile printer, so I wanted something that wouldn't give out on me anytime soon. Required Hardware: 8x 10mm M5 bolts and M5 T-Nuts (you should have these lying around from constructing your Hypercube) 4x 30-40mm M8 Hex Bolts with Nuts (or 1-1/2" - 2" 5/16 SAE Hex Bolts, SAE nuts are thicker than M8 nuts so they will be a bit proud, this doesn't cause any issues just don't try to jam them in perfectly flush) 4x 35-40mm Self Adhesive Furniture Pads (or 1-1/2" Furniture Pads) Assembly: Insert the M8 (or 5/16") bolt into the foot, press the foot down on a hard surface so the hex bolt's head is flush with the bottom of the foot. Stick furniture pad to the bottom of the foot. Insert the corresponding nut into the leg, press onto hard surface to ensure nut is fully seated. Thread the foot into the leg a few times before attaching them to your printer so adjustment will be less difficult.
