Prusa MK3 Hex Bed Handle

prusaprinters

<p>Remix of my original bed handle, this one with some updated clearances for a more snug fit and a hexagonal shaped opening. &nbsp;Why? Because hexagons are the bestagons.</p><p>Simple small profile bed handle for the Prusa MK3. &nbsp;Great for moving the bed without touching the build surface or getting oils from the skin on the print bed. &nbsp;Especially helpful for holding the carriage in place while setting the magnetic flex plate in place. &nbsp;May not be compatible with older style y-carriages. &nbsp;Compatible carriage shown in images.</p><p>Comes in two versions, one that goes in the lower left corner, and one that goes in the lower right corner. &nbsp;Only one is necessary, so use whichever one is to your preference.</p><p>Installation:</p><ul><li>Remove the hex screw and spacer from the lower corner of the y-carriage corresponding to the side you are installing it on. &nbsp;Place the spacer into the hole in the stem of the handle. &nbsp;Use a finger to hold the spacer in place and slide the handle onto the carriage so that the spacer ends in its original position. &nbsp;Reinstall screw. &nbsp;<ul><li><strong>Disassembly of the bed outside of the previous instructions should not be necessary.</strong></li><li><strong>As with any modifications to the printer, adjustment to the printer's z-offset may need to be done.</strong></li><li><strong>The photo instructions above show installation for the right side, just do the same on the other side for the left variant.</strong></li></ul></li></ul>
