HyperCube (and Evo) Leg Extension

thingiverse

This is an adjustable foot designed to attach securely to the bottom of a HyperCube or HyperCube Evolution frame (or any other 2020/2040 or 3030 aluminum extrusion printer) to elevate it, allowing for easy access underneath or simplified foot attachment. The image depicts a 2020 leg, with an untested 3030 leg STL file provided for users who want to experiment with alternative designs. To customize the foot, you can employ a stick-on foot like 3M BumpOn or a generic floor protector, or opt for a rubber surface protector foot featuring a hole for an M5 screw. Alternatively, consider using an eBay "vibration dampener" with M5 thread vulcanized into it. For those skilled in printing flexibles, creating your own custom foot is also an option. A built-in nut trap accommodates an M5 nut to secure a foot screw, or you can choose to use a long screw or threaded rod extending through to the frame by modifying the design. Originally, I aimed to reposition the Z motor mount to utilize a longer Z screw, necessitating a 60mm lift for the printer. This STL file represents that solution, and the OpenSCAD source is available for users who wish to make adjustments as needed.
