<p>Remixed front-facing Z end-stop from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1896185">RC-3D</a> for the Tevo Tarantula.</p> <p>The switch holder is exactly the same (included here for convenience).</p> <p>The remixed screw-holder has the following changes compared to the original:</p> <ul> <li>Uses two M3 20mm screws to hold onto the X carriage as opposed to 15mm only, allowing for a full 5mm base plate.</li> <li>More tolerance on the M5 main adjustment screw. The screw still needs to be forced into the plastic carving it's own thread, but there's no need to heat the screw. The fit is still tight: the screw cannot be turned with bare hands.</li> <li>The M5 screw is perfectly centered on the microswitch lever, not on the actuator. I recommend leaving the lever on the microswitch.</li> </ul> <p>I cannot recommend the front-facing adjustment enough: given how often the bed needs to be re-leveled, this is easily the best mod I did on the Tarantula so far.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>100%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>The arm attaching to the main M5 adjustment screw should have 100% infill. slic3r correctly fills small areas by default, so you can use 30% infill for the other parts. If you slicer doesn't do this, use 100% infill on the screw holder, and your favorite value on the switch holder.</p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
