Tevo Tarantula Pro Leveling Nut

thingiverse

The Tevo Tarantula Pro is an excellent FDM printer, but some of the components you'll need or want to modify aren't included. You can theoretically print those parts using the TTPro, but if you're looking for a "factory look," you'll need to use a resin printer. I used an Elegoo Mars, which I highly recommend, but feel free to use what you have on hand. If you're using an alternate Z-motor mount for better adjustability, the standard leveling nuts that come with the printer can get awfully close to hitting it. They also look pretty ugly! So I designed these leveling nuts, which are smaller, around 30mm, and look much more stylish, featuring the Tevo logo used as "knurling." The STL file might need to be rotated in your slicer of choice so that a flat face is sitting on the printing plate/base. Check out the attached image of the part placed in ChituBox for an example of what worked for me and should work for you too. If printed with a resin printer and properly placed on the build plate, this part doesn't need any supports. I wouldn't recommend printing these nuts on an FDM printer or the TTPro itself, as you'll likely lose all detail on the logo knurling. UPDATE 10/06/2019: Per request, I added a version with a smooth outside for those who want to print with an FDM printer.
