About this 3D model

Had issues with the full length lead screw cover breaking during installation or colliding with the bed (despite using magnets) and causing levelling failures so I designed a simpler take on it. Simple bracket that mounts using the bed screws and keeps a consistent distance from the bed. Helps to guide placement of the print bed and protect it from hitting the lead screw accidentally Installation instructions : Press down the bed at the front left corner and unscrew the left bed knob there by rotating clockwise Be careful to not lose the washer sitting on top of the knob. It may be stuck to the underside of the bed Place the print over the knob. The recess should fit over the center to hold it in place Place the washer into the recess on the other side Reinstall the parts again by holding the bed pressed down strongly and screwing the knob on counter-clockwise. Aim for finger tight Check that the print does not appear on the camera. If it does, you can adjust it by slightly loosening the bed knob and pushing or pulling it Printing instructions : Material: PETG or ABS Print as orientated Brim: may be needed if your adhesion is poor due to the thin walls Supports: no. Chamfered to avoid the need Overhang speed: 20 mm/s. Ensures the recessed holes print cleanly so they have good tolerance Notes : Can be mirrored to also be installed on the right side of the bed, but I had no issues with the full lead screw cover on that side so I didn't bother
