Level Foot for Wanhao Duplicator I3

thingiverse

This is my version of a leveling foot for the Wanhao i3 inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:916707. I sought out a lower profile design that would be more substantial and utilize readily available threaded stem glides, which I found at Home Depot for $4 (Threaded Stem Glides SKU 141178). The design is uncomplicated. That's my preferred method of creating things. Just Keep It Simple Stupid! To install the insert, align it with the grooves beforehand. Then, press-fit the insert into the hole. You might need to employ a vise, bar clamp, or arbor press for this process. If tapping is required, ensure the insert rests flat against a robust surface to prevent damaging the part. I utilized an Irwin Quick-Grip purchased at Walmart.
