Replicator 1 Heated Build Plate height adjustment retaining jig

cults3d

This little device is used on a Makerbot Replicator 1 and slips over two of the heated base plate height adjusting knobs to prevent them from working loose during the vibration incurred during printing. I printed it weeks ago and put it to the test doing large heavy prints that used to make me adjust each new print. After installing these I've yet to make an adjustment. The jig clips on the front to back, or back to front. One for each side. I did another run to fix an issue and now have a new file. Did it again and now have a really tight fitting jig. Included are two spreads to preload the jig so installation is quick. Just open the clamps and hold them open with the raised part on the rectangle pieces. When in place (narrow side up) just pop off the pieces holding the jaws open. It's now on tight.
