### Practical Creality Ender 5 Hot Bed Stabilizer / Support Remixed from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4558463 My right-side broke, so i remixed this. But i did the left one because my chair was spun around on Wednesday while temporarily confounded. https://www.thingiverse.com/make:925092 Remixed strut A & B tab wider & thicker. Should also stop from lifting now. Dulled the sharp bottom edge as well. Strut C not modified. This is the Left-side. Duplicate and mirror X-Axis for right-side. - PrusaSlicer: select object>right-click>mirror>X-axis. - Cura: Select object, "M"-key for mirror>Red arrow is X-axis. edit: okay, weird, when mirror X, have to re-orient face-to-plate, so i'll upload right-side as well. Uploaded the unmodified Strut C (Front) uploaded for completeness sake. Read the print notes. Read the original thing description. Remix mine at leisure: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/6pNgpp59uwj Stupid "Imperial" measurement system is a pain. Anyone looking for the right hardware, this was best fit from "Lowe's Home Improvement". "#8" (5/32 inch) by 1foot -- need to cut or grind to 210mm length (that's 8.26771653543307 inches). This SKU# is different than what i purchased, but it is identical: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-8-dia-x-1-ft-L-Coarse-Steel-Threaded-Rod/3127507 I opted for knurled-nuts instead of washers/nuts. Total hardware = ~$5.25 USD + tax Installation: apply strut C first. screw knurled nuts onto rods in opposing fashion. insert cut rods into strut C and adjust. insert struts A & B onto rod and affix into position. adjust rear knurled-nuts. do not over-extend or it will lift the bed's front end. you will have to find the perfect level position then perform the routine bed-leveling. i've used mine 8 months now without having to re-level but maybe once (Apr2021 to Dec2021). --- ### A little show of appreciation goes a long way. - If you enjoy this, please "Like" or comment. - Please post "Makes". - Feel free to promote it using the [attribution card](./attribution_card). - Please consider subscribing to my [Youtube](http://youtube.com/c/nerdCopter). - All my works under the `Creative Commons - Attribution - Non-Commercial - Share Alike` license unless otherwise noted. - Free to print for yourself or your friends.
