setting z offset ender 3 3d models

Cheapest dual z upgrade, i prefer to buy the device myself and use the printer to upgrade itself, cheaper and DIY My 2nd z-axis has a different size hole, I modified the design a bit Filament i use:...

... the extra spacing material that Alloca added to their specific setup, and repositioned the mounting holes to match the original design by Hangtight. It should work just fine on a stock setup, assuming your z-axis nut mount isn't way off center.

I've also moved to a top-mounted, double lead screw, design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4569498) so do not have a need for this z-axis motor mount any longer. This is a remix of a remix created by Alloca. Original motor mount design by...

I designed this pin to give the z axis something to "park" on, away from the bed surface, while the printer is off and the stepper is not keeping it elevated. It goes into one of the unused holes from where the E3 / E3Pro vertically mounts the...

The original dual z upgrade kit from Creality comes with an "L-shape" metalbracket to mount the PSU on the lower aluminium frame. Unfortunately the orientation of this bracket is not ideal, a lot of space is wasted. Moreover I was not able to mount Z...

When i bougth my 2nd printer it comes with the z sensor in bad state, i send it back to the supplier like it comes from the packages, and they send me only the sensor without the plate to lock it to the printer and in that time i have a hurry to...

Improved the moving upper part by - widening the fin so it is a snug fit in the channel - adding a T nut which when tightened holds the top end within the channel (but still allows movement) - added pocket for the Z stop PCB to be installed in...

Z-axis limit switch regulator. It has discrete adjustment with a step of 0.025 mm. Printed from PLA with 100% coverage. The dovetail, after a short grinding and lubrication with grease for plastic, moves without play and effort. Bolt or hairpin Ф4...

... of the screw block on the stepper when installing. The underside angle will prevent the stepper from leaning towards the Z rail. ... Hopefully it can help others with the same issue because flat shims never did the job so I designed this myself.

This will support the Z-motor and align it correctly to prevent the leadscrew from binding. You will no longer have to use paper/card or leave the motor loose to prevent the binding. Check pics for installation. ... Rotate the model in your slicer...

To achieve precise alignment of the Z-rod with the frame, shims are essential. A mere 1mm discrepancy can be significant, but by flipping them over, you can effectively cancel out their impact. Experimenting with different combinations is likely to...

I needed a super easy-to-install Z-support, so I got creative. Since I had some spare 809 2Z bearings at home, I designed the support (bearing holder) myself. ... To build this project, you'll need: * One or two 809 2z Bearing * An M5 x 10/8 screw and...

My 2nd z-axis has a different size hole, I modified the design a bit Filament i...

Top mounted Z-stabilizer for a standard 608 bearing (buy the cheapest you can find or print one) This might be a very tight fit. If you want to insert the bearing without tools you might want to use a slightly negative horizontal expansion for this.

I fitted the cable chain to my extruder and z-axis cables, but noticed immediately that the chain was tipping over sideways and jamming up occasionally. To prevent this, I designed a support system using Fusion 360 to keep the cables in-line with the...

**24/05/2018: Upgraded to v2, reducing filament usage by about 25% and print time by approximately 15%.** This update will secure the Z-motor and align it properly, preventing leadscrew binding from occurring. You will no longer need to use paper or...

Optional: Flex coupler for one or both of the Z-axis motors (5mm to 8mm) Then align, align, align, and once you get everything working, don't break it. :) This has been working well for a few weeks now on my sister's printer. ... Fingers crossed this...

it is in fact 12.12mm where it mounts to the upright, but 11.9 where to countersink heads are, meaning the flat surface where the motor mounts to is in fact at an 90.6 deg angle to the uprights, which is why the z axis bar is tight as it get down...

Setting the axis of a screw is remarkably straightforward.

These are asymmetric to clear the X plates - could potentially get even higher Z height (around 280mm) if you don't use the outside bolt. It's super solid with just the single top bolt to be honest. Bottom brackets I remixed to use F695-2RS...

... screw centered 21mm from the frame (measure 25mm from the outside edge of the leadscrew just above the motor coupler to ensure this bracket fits perfectly before you print). My printer has these Z-motor spacers installed and it is a perfect fit.

found that I missed having the tools on the Power Supply after I had to move the supply for the Dual Z, So Came up with a solution, it's not a quick print, but it works. Added a few new spots for stuff like my support removal tools, markers, nozzle...

New version (V5) of my chain mount to NEMA stepper motor on Z axis. Printing: When I print this, the orientation on the printing bed is best with the chain side facing up and the cable hole on top. The first versions weren't strong enough with 20%...

I upgraded the printer's drive system with a new z-axis drive for enhanced stability. The lead screw for this axis is notably long, as evident from the attached photo. Initially, I had planned to shorten it, but then I opted to add a die on top...

After finally adding a BL-Touch, I found it to be useful as a mechanical protection end stop, for when the probe missed the sensor, it would stop the downward z movement of the head before it attempted to drive into the bed. ... Thanks to the other...

I'm using BMG clone extruder and the cable guide from llueen can't be fit directly - Z-axis brass nut blocking part of the guide. I have to remove some parts to get it fit. * llueen cable guide: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4723800 Also,...

New version (V5) of my chain mount to NEMA stepper motor on Z axis. Printing: When printing this, the orientation on the printing bed is best with the chain side up and the cable hole at the top. The first versions were not strong enough with 20%...

I recently upgraded the printer with a double Z-axis consisting of a lead screw and a stepper motor, and later I also added a timing belt so that when the stepper motors are disabled they do not go out of sync, but the first time I put a 610 belt on...

There a few different belt Z conversions out there for this printer. None of them fit perfectly for what I wanted to do so I made this. It's still a work in progress but has been working well for a couple months. I'm happy with the mechanics, only...

This is a knob (kit) to help spin that corkscrew for the Z-axis stepper motor to lift and lower the extruder assembly. I've had it with trying to spin on on the stepper or corkscrew. The lever.stl is for those that doesn't mind having it...
