X Leveler Rev 2 for Maker Select

prusaprinters

<p>Update: A Rev2 bracket is now included. It has a cutout versus a hole for the hardware, allowing you to slide the bracket on and off the frame, leaving the hardware in place. Easy On-Easy Off.</p> <p>Well, like any other tool, my original X-Leveling Spacers <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3254069">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3254069</a> just seemed to get in the way on my print table after use.</p> <p>I didn't want to "put them away" after use, and didn't want to make some sort of tool storage thingy for them either.</p> <p>So, I did some thinking and came up with these.</p> <p>They do exactly the same thing as my originals, but they stay attached to the printer.</p> <p>Extend them in when you want to X-level, then retract them when you're done.</p> <p>They don't get in my way of anything, they're slimline, and based on whatever color you choose to print them in, they're quite a stylish addition to your machine.</p> <p>At least I think so. :-)</p> <p>Installing these will require that you drill and tap 4 ea 3mm holes in the front of your frame, 2 on each side.</p> <p>If you haven't got the necessary tools to do that, well, this might not be for you, OR, get what you need and make it happen. :-)</p> <p>You will also need to make sure that the Z motor mounting screws are toward the back of your machine to let the sliding part extend. That's the purpose of the notch in the bottom end.</p> <p>I've included STL, STEP and SLDPRT files.</p> <p>If you would be so kind, please post your Makes.</p> <p>Thank You!</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Monoprice Maker Select V2</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>.1mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>35%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> HatchBox PLA <p>Color is up to you</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I sliced these in Cura 3.6.0</p> Put the parts on the build plate according to the pictures. <p>The Brackets are identical,</p> <p>The Spacer needs to be copied/mirrored to obtain a Right and Left side.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Assembly/Installation</strong></p> <p>Tools Needed: a 2.5 mm drill bit, drill and a 3mm Tap and handle.</p> <p>Assemble the pieces for each side using the 3mm Nyloc Nuts and 3mm Button Head Screws.</p> <p>The Nyloc nuts should fit into the bosses by positioning them in the boss with the Nyloc out, then tapping them in with a small hammer.</p> <p>After assembly, the Spacer should be loose enough to easily slide back and forth, but not sloppily. I found that "sloppy" lets them vibrate during printing, making unwanted noise.</p> <p>The small tab/handle on the Spacer needs to be facing IN toward the Hot Bed on each side.</p> <p>After the Assembly is complete, extend the Spacer.</p> <p>Position the Assembly with the Spacer resting on the Z motor mount shell and just touching the vertical frame rail, with the Bracket flush against the frame.</p> <p>The holes in the Brackets are slightly elongated slots to allow for any inaccuracies during drilling, and allowing a slight bit of adjustment during installation.</p> <p>Mark where the holes need to be in the frame. It is easier if you mark, drill and tap the Top hole, then install a Capscrew/washer set to hold the Assembly in place while you mark the Bottom hole.</p> <p>Remove the Capscrew and Assembly, drill and tap the Bottom hole, then install the Assembly using both Capscrew/washer sets.</p> <p>Repeat for the other side.</p> </div></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
