Easy bed levelers for MTW Minimax

thingiverse

Leveling the build plate on my Minimax with an allen key and the supplied bed clips was a massive pain, so I created these to replace them. Leveling my bed is now done in a fraction of the time, and I would consider these a significant upgrade. Designed to be printed from ABS without the need for supports. Of the printed parts, you will need; 2x Build Plate Mounts 2x Build Plate Mounts OH (opposite hand) 4x Spring Mounts 4x Doodads 4x Thumbwheels (short) 4x Thumbwheels (tall) In addition to the printed parts you will also need; 4x springs (reused from the Minimax kit) 4x M3x25mm bolts with nut. 4x M3x30mm bolts with nut. Hex head bolts are ideal, although round headed bolts seem to work just fine. The bolt lengths listed are comfortable minimums. The Build Plate Mount can be lined with rubber if you prefer (as per the original MTW ones) however it is not required. Once all items are printed, assemble as shown in the Assembly Detail STL that I've also included. Don't print this! Then come back and post your pic. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: Print with whatever settings you prefer, however; If you have your extrusion width set to 0.5mm or more, reduce it to 0.49mm to prevent your slicer ignoring some of the finer details. I suggest printing the Doodads slowly, and one at a time, with perimeters from the outside-in. You want to avoid z-scarring on these as they are a close-ish tolerance with Bed Mounts
