<p>The print bed that came with my I3 have a slight bend in it so when one corner is down the opposite one end up high. That's kind of annoying and inefficient to level the bed properly.</p> <p>I did not want to buy another bed that could have the exact same problem...</p> <p>So I designed this holder that fit between the bed and the Y-axis frame, it holds down the setting wheel as you can see on the photos. It's quite a tight space there but it still leaves enough room for the bed to go down enough.</p> <p>It fixed my problem and works pretty well, the big advantage is that the bed goes up and down just by turning the wheel now. Before I had to press a little bit on the corner to help it go down.</p> <p>You need to present it with a slight angle so it snaps around the screw, It's fixed to the Y axis carriage with two zip ties, one as close to the setting as possible and the other one in the back to stabilize the part. The four corners are different and the zip tie will end up in a different notch. Be very careful how you place each zip tie, and make sure it clears everything on the Y-axis path.</p> <p>I hope it will work for you too, let me know if you like it or know a better way to fix that problem :)</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>RepRap</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Original Prusa I3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200um</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>50</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>You want it to be as rigid as possible so 50% infill is the minimum and you want to set your slicer to do at least 6 solid layers top and bottom at 200um so the hook part of it will be solid.</p> <p>It's best to be made in ABS or the higher temperature plastic you have.</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
