Modified Da Vinci Printer Bed-level Adjuster

thingiverse

I had trouble printing the original bed-level adjuster, specifically with gluing the nuts in place. They would frequently break loose or the holes would close while the glue was setting. To address this issue, I decided to encase the nut within the adjuster itself. My remix of the design incorporates additional robust tabs at the bottom and a cap on top to securely hold an M3 nut. It is essential to keep a close eye on the print and pause it just in time to insert the nut into the well. To achieve optimal results, print three adjustments and replace all your current adjuster wheels on your print bed. Special thanks go to scobo for creating the original design at http://www.thingiverse.com/scobo/about. Also, a nod of appreciation goes out to Chuck Hellebuyck's outstanding YouTube video series that provided the inspiration for this modification at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJmkAngpRQg. This project was built with Tinkercad. Instructions Three M3 nuts are required for this design. For best results, print with a layer height of .2 and 90% infill, without the need for support materials. During printing, monitor the extruder's progress to reach the top of the nut well, then pause the print. Carefully insert an M3 nut into the well, ensuring it is seated flush and securely in place. For added convenience, position your print near the front edge of your bed to make access easier when inserting the nut. Insert the nut around 85% completion or utilize the original design as a height reference point located beside your current print. Once clearance permits, pause the print and insert the nut at the top of the adjuster wheel piece. Then, restart the print process, focusing on completing the cap, and you're done!
