Delta easy bed leveling

prusaprinters

<p>The only easy way i found to align my delta Bed, to be 100% this should be position below the towers, but it was impossible for me so i design this solution and is working very well, you can adjust the alignment space you need depending on the size of the spring, i did cut my springs very small so i can have 2 to 3mm max to play with alignment.</p> <p>This was design to be use in V-slots 20x20.</p> <p>The only thing you may need that i don't show on pictures is an extra nut, to be place below the hotbed to tight the screw, to avoid the alignment screw to twist.</p> <p>The twist button, have space to have a M3 locking nut if you prefer, for what i test it works with regular nut without any problem</p> <p>Material you will need:<br/> 3 x M3 Countersunk head screw (+- 16mm) alignment screw<br/> 6 x M3 Countersunk head screw (+- 12mm) attach the part to the frame<br/> 3 x M3 Nuts<br/> 12 x M3 washer<br/> 3 x small hard springs ( i did have some springs that i did cut to the size i need, don't use soft springs )</p> <p>Tip: I did use superglue to glue the nut and washers to the twist button, to help me on assembly.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Parts Summary</h3> <p>The only easy way i found to align my delta Bed, to be 100% this should be position below the towers, but it was impossible for me so i design this solution and is working very well, you can adjust the alignment space you need depending on the size of the spring, i did cut my springs very small so i can have 2 to 3mm max to play with alignment.</p> <p>This was design to be use in V-slots 20x20.</p> <p>The only thing you may need that i don't show on pictures is an extra nut, to be place below the hotbed to tight the screw, to avoid the alignment screw to twist.</p> <p>The twist button, have space to have a M3 locking nut if you prefer, for what i test it works with regular nut without any problem</p> <p>Material you will need:<br/> 3 x M3 Countersunk head screw (+- 16mm) alignment screw<br/> 6 x M3 Countersunk head screw (+- 12mm) attach the part to the frame<br/> 3 x M3 Nuts<br/> 12 x M3 washer<br/> 3 x small hard springs ( i did have some springs that i did cut to the size i need, don't use soft springs )</p> <p>Tip: I did use superglue to glue the nut and washers to the twist button, to help me on assembly.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> BQ prusa I3</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 1.5</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 100%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I did print this parts in PLA, but i think that once the heated bed start to heat, it will heat the alignment screw, once i get this ruining i will print the twist button in ABS that i think that could be the only part that may start to show some issues with time.<br/> This is working in progress, so i did not test with heated bed ON.</p>
