X5S Bed Lowering Blocks - simpler, stronger, easier to print.

thingiverse

I used the other lowering blocks for a few months but i was never happy with how they printed, i didn't like the vanity lettering, and i had a couple of them crack. i decided that their design was too clever and not smart enough. This version is just a spacer. You will need longer screws. The blocks i uploaded are 24mm tall. If you aren't using an endstop actuator version, you can scale it to whatever height you want in your slicer. You will need M4 screws that are in the neighborhood of 15mm longer than the block is tall. So for 24mm blocks you need screws in the 40mm long range. The optical endstop actuator version is compatible with my remix of Marco67's optical endstop holder, here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3047306 Which is of course still compatible with Marco67's actuator, which mounts on top of the bar and may require a slightly longer screw. I have also included some lowering blocks with arms to hold magnets, to go with my experimental hall effect Z endstop sensor, here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3175047 If you are in the USA and you are unable to source longish M4 screws locally, I heartily recommend Monster Bolts on ebay. They always ship promptly and it never takes more than 3-4 days for the hardware to get to me even though they are in florida and i am in utah. I got my screws from this listing: https://goo.gl/WWVYCw
