Wanhao i3 Plus Z Brace w/level (feet only)

thingiverse

This remix combines abrandi's mod of 3dspool_canada's feet and TEN1964's mod for the i3 PLUS, designed for use with Azza's popular zBraces.\nIt retains abrandi's mod's ability to use two nuts on each foot, stabilizing the gantry in both directions, while adding TEN1964's mod for full base leveling capability.\nI also drew from Azza's "Z braces for Wanhao Duplicator i3:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:921948,\nIn addition to my modifications, simply print the top_right, top_left and 4 of the MK2 balls from Azza's braces.\nUse these with Anti-vibration feet for Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus from shusy: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2130829,\nor purchase Threaded Furniture Glides (SKU 193 637) 1/4" thread with a press fit threaded plug from Home Depot or your local home supply store.\n(For my setup, shusy's side feet for under the gantry tower were not tall enough, you may need to adjust the height of those based on how much you need to level the base).\nSee http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2021974 for more details on leveling.\nNote that the way the leveling feet positions are away from the printer frame, it puts additional pressure on the mounting screws, especially on the front bracket parts.\nDo not compromise on infill, go with 70% or higher. If you don't use a high infill and try to tighten the M5 screws to where they should be, the infill can give way and the part will crack at the layer central to the screw mounting hole.\nI learned this the hard way and had to reprint the feet.\nAnother approach to relieve stress would be to create blocks that match the height of the lift that the feet give to the printer and place (glue) them under the base of each corner directly below the screw position to help support the weight.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand:\n Wanhao\n \n Printer:\n Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus\n \n Rafts:\n Doesn't Matter\n \n Supports:\n No\n \n Resolution:\n .2mm\n \n Infill:\n 70%\n \n Notes:\n Do not compromise on infill. I tried 50% and that was not enough.\nIf you try to tighten the M5 screws to where they should be, the infill can give way and the part will crack at the layer central to the screw mounting hole.\nIt has been mentioned that the M5 screws that come standard now are not long enough when this Z brace foot is added. You may need to get longer M5 screws.
