Makerfarm Prusa i3v one tool leveling bracket

cults3d

Adding this simple modification to the corners of your Makerfarm's Prusa I3v hotbed greatly simplifies hotbed leveling. It prevents the lock nut from rotating, allowing you to use one hand for the hex wrench and the other hand to check the height with your preferred shim. This design was inspired by the popular "Makerfarm Prusa i3v one tool bed adjustment bracket" (thing #342265), but it comes with a parametric OpenScad source file that allows you to customize the dimensions to fit your machine and printing process perfectly. I printed mine from PLA, using 0.2mm layer height and no support material, but I did slow down the bridge speed to 10mm/s to ensure a smooth finish. When installing it, be sure to remove the screw first to reduce stress on the part. If the part doesn't fit your machine, you can tweak the parameters in the scad file to adjust the hex nut hold size, the opening angle of the side walls, or the radius of the hotbed ears. This little part makes bed leveling a snap.
