I was sick and tired of calibrating the bed level and being out fractionally because of the wingnut, the said wingnut can catch the y axis slide mounts in passing so you are limited in how much fine tuning can be done. My fix was to get some 3mm knurled nuts and now I can fine tune my bed so that adhesion is so good I have had to print some part removal wedges I found at Thingiverse, www.thingiverse.com/thing:2505369 Now it is time to start printing the parts for that Raspberry Pi NAS I got the printer for in the first place. |

I never found that my wingnuts made contact with the supports, wonder if your machine is narrower than mine? Another member made some knurled knobs that I was going to print next time I had to level the bed but I haven't had to in a long time. I really like the wedges, I'll have to make those.

I have a feeling the beds are the same, it could have been that I was experimenting with bed temperatures and making slight adjustments to allow for thermal warping in the aluminum bed heater, which is the advantage to having a glass bed. I found if I level the bed at the operating temperature I have far less failures, but the wingnuts could catch and throw the level out. The other thing I found once I put these knurled nuts on was finer control which is a good thing given the tolerances we deal with as makers.
