Orca 0.4x Z Axis Adjuster

thingiverse

The Z Adjustment for Camiels Orca 0.4x printer has an advanced and precise design. It allows adjustment of height using a micrometer screw while featuring two linear bearings on 8 mm smooth rods for the Z-opto's height stability. Two springs press against the micrometer screw, preventing play in height and self-adjustment issues. A version with an 8 mm inner diameter middle part is available if you don't have linear bearings. The STL files have zero-diameter smooth rods and micrometer screws for customization via IGES file editing. This project was inspired by Mooselake's Adjuster. Instructions for use include printing in ABS with 25% infill and 0.25 mm layer height, assembling the build with clear instructions. Drilling parts together ensures good alignment for smooth rods, while adding washers between springs and linear bearings is recommended for protection. Required parts are M4x12 screws (x5), M4 nuts (x7), M3x12 screws (x2), M3 nuts (x2), 8 mm D x 40 mm L springs (x2), 8 mm linear bearings (x2), 90 mm L 8 mm smooth rods (x2), and a micrometer screw (either 0-25mm or 0-13mm).
