S8 Bed Locks

thingiverse

I am adding a BL Touch to my S8 and wanted to make sure that the bed level did not change from vibrations, getting bumped, or anything else, as that would invalidate the ABL mesh. I use similar bed locks on my Ender 5, so I made a set for the S8. I tried remixing the Ender 5 set, but the mesh had issues and it would not render after any changes, so I built these from scratch. I have included the OpenSCAD file, but be warned that it takes 20+ minutes to render, likely due to the many calculations I have baked into theS8 Bed Locks design + the high detail level settings I used (IE: an $fn of 200). Interestingly enough the exported STL came in around 12 mb, which is pretty big for such a small object. But it prints fine. I used the stock knobs. For this model nothing else was needed to "lock" the bed adjustment. Just print 1 for each knob (each corner). Make sure that the knobs are oriented correctly, which is with the text side facing up. If you turn the knobs around the locks won't "lock" it into place. When I printed it I flipped it over and used supports from the bed only. It was easy to clean off the supports and made for a pretty easy print overall. YMMV.
