Solidoodle Z-Stop with Nut Trap

thingiverse

The Solidoodle Z-Stop has been modified to work seamlessly with M3 nuts, making it possible for Loctite Blue to do its job effectively between the nut and the z screw. This ingenious modification prevents vibrations from causing changes in the z setting. I've since updated the files to include v2, which provides extra support for the nut. Unfortunately, my original attempt resulted in the nut popping out, so an update was necessary. The latest v3 files offer a more compact design that ensures even if mounting bolt heads intersect with the bar holding the z screw, they'll fit without any issues. This solution was necessitated by the fact that I required a concise version of the model. This project is based on Muddtt's Thing #162400 and has been crafted using OpenSCAD.

To manufacture the v2 version, it was necessary to slightly reduce the wall thickness of the bar supporting the nut, as excess material scraped against the print bed carriage.
