Printrbot Play Z Wobble Stopper

thingiverse

This tool is specifically designed to minimize or completely eliminate wobble in the Play Z Screw. After employing it for several prints, try pulling it away from the Z Screw. The screw should run true after this has been used for some time. You will lose approximately 3/8" (9.5mm) of your Z travel while using this tool. In return, you should notice reduced Z wobble in your prints. This tool only needs to be used for a short period to get your Z screw running straight and true. So far, my screw appears to be running straight with it in place. It applies just a bit of pressure on the screw and I hear the screw creaking as it runs. However, this should improve as it wears in. Depending on your printer and filament, you may need to open the hole for the screw slightly with a drill bit. You want it to slip on without too much force but not be too loose either. The print is set at 6.5mm for the screw; I used a 6.5mm bit which works well. Version #4 is the final version. Note: This was printed on my Printrbot Play AIO (All In One) printer, featuring a 10" Windows 10 Tablet mounted to it. It can run CURA 15.x,.x Repetier 1.6.x, Matter Control and 3D builder software. It is limited to 32-bit applications. It can also run Sketchup 2016. A True Bluetooth mouse and keyboard can be used for better control. This printer includes an extended bed made from a cut-down Printrbot Simple metal bed, providing 7 5/8" (194mm) of Y travel. The Z Wobble Stopper can be printed on a stock Play printer.
