Reprap Mendel Bed Spring Nut Captivator

thingiverse

This is a simple nut holder to go on the nuts for the bed springs so that you don't need a spanner to calibrate your bed. I noticed that it was very awkward to adjust the bolts on the bed springs as they just spin unless you put a small spanner on the nut which takes time and is really cumbersome, this is to stop them doing that to make calibrating a breeze. Photo 2 shows BEFORE Photo 1 shows AFTER, no spanner needed All Rights Reserved! Instructions There are three different types of nut captivator here, they are all in the same STL, simply remove the bolt and attach this ahead of the nut before re-attaching the bolt, the right side of the bed uses the two that are the same, the left uses the ones with the cut-outs, therefore the back left and front left have different designs, make sure you use the right one as the wrong one will not fit properly. P.S. I think that I have mixed up the file names, the inches one worked best for me, that's probably the one to go for.
