RigidBot R1 Z-Axis "EASY END STOP"

thingiverse

Original Kickstarter RigidBot R1 has a fixed distance between the bed and hotend. Any regulation requires moving the position of the ring containing the Z-End Stop switch, or worse, you may need to touch the four bed alignment screws. That's not very comfortable, especially if you plan to install glass over the bed and continue swapping it with any print. This addon adds an adjustable end stop knob found in many RepRap printers. This is the result of many hours of design aimed at building something very efficient that can be well integrated with RigidBot aesthetics. You will need to completely dismount and remove the original Z-end stop ring from its current location, detach the microswitch board, and install the microswitch on this new object at a different location than the original RigidBot. Read the step-by-step PDF Installing guide in the thingiverse files section. The object has been designed to be realistic and printable by anyone, avoiding any strange objects that could only be printed using supports, ultra-tuned high-resolution printers, or fantasy printers. The parts are already in the correct position for printing. At the moment, they are all in one piece since this allows small PLA parts to cool while printing other sections. All parts are original except for the knob. The knob is a remix of <https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1420598>. I printed them in PLA using an old RepRapPro, but you may try printing them in ABS. REQUIRED PARTS: * STL printed objects * 4 screws M3 x 8mm * 2 screws M4 x 16mm * 7 nuts M3 * 9 washers M3 * 2 screws M3 x 20mm * 1 screw M3 x 50mm * 1 M3 spring around 20mm (from a pen) * 1 brass hexagonal spacer M3 x 10mm ASSEMBLING: Follow the installation instruction PDF and help with the pictures.
