Snap-on wing-nut covers for FlashForge Creator Pro

thingiverse

I really like the wing-nut covers; they act as thumbwheels which makes it much easier to futz with both bed leveling and adjusting glass bed mounting corners. The original design for this remix served that purpose very well but they would often fall off... especially when the heated bed was on. So this remix addresses this issue with two enhancements and perfectly fits the wing-nuts that came with my FlashForge: 1.) It beefs up the thing so that it is more rigid and better resists deformation after repeated use. 2.) It adds 4 strategically placed "bumps" designed to allow the wingnut to snap in place and stay in place. UPDATE I have added a second .stl file so now there are actually 2 slightly different implementations. Wingnuts-buff-5.stl and Wingnuts-short-5.stl. I use the normal "buff" version for most applications, like bed leveling wing-nuts (where the wingnut tightens against metal or other rigid materials). The "short" version is for wing-nut applications where the wing-nut contacts materials, like plastics, that deform with pressure and ultimately unsnap the wing=nut covers as they are tightened; a good example of this is plastic glass bed corner brackets.
