Ultimate Bed Support for 2040 V-Slot

thingiverse

Here's a bed support I've designed to patch some cons with official D-bot bed support. It has several key improvements. - A spring cage that keeps it well vertical and saves ~20mm of Z height. - A smooth cage bevel that guides the spring without a hitch during compression. - A full double V slot design that maintains the support perfectly horizontal. - A very long 3mm tubing that holds the M3 screw firmly in place during Z displacement. - A very large wheel for fine-tuning leveling. - A fully compatible design with drop-in T-nut, eliminating the need to screw like a butcher as usual with V designs. - Two integrated washers for frictionless rotation. It's also extremely compact at 45 mm wide / 40 mm high. Feel free to comment! <b>Material needed</b> 1x M3 flat head screw > 45 mm 1x M3 nut (for the wheel slot) 4x M5 x 8mm screws 4x T-nut, Openbuilds T-nut or drop-in T-nut Designed for 8x25 mm 'regular' springs (those cheap ones you can find at your Chinese shop), it also performs well with 8x20 mm springs but requires an adapter. <i>Edit 14/11/19</i> : I've added an adapter for 20 mm springs. <i>Edit 18/11/19</i> : Use M5 x 8mm (10mm may be too long; an update will follow soon). <i>Edit 23/11/19</i> : Bugfix on the headscrew hole. https://youtu.be/D4PBgaLxn2w
