Z-Axis Rasing Tool 150mm

thingiverse

I've got a budget-friendly $150 Prusa clone 3D printer that works great, but it lacks a crucial feature: the ability to raise the print head up on the z-axis. To avoid the hassle of twisting threaded rods and re-leveling every time I need to unblock or swap out the nozzle/hot end, I came up with this simple print solution. This design lifts the print head approximately 150mm, but feel free to adjust it in your slicer to suit your specific needs. Printing takes around 5 minutes with minimal effort, and according to Cura, it consumes virtually no filament - a mere 0 grams. If any of you talented makers can successfully print this design without it sticking to the bed, please share your progress with a photo!
