Description
It was time to show my old Ender 3 a little love. So here's a new Z-axis knob which uses a screw to help stop it from loosening.
I printed mine in PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, 3 walls and 15% infill and no supports.
To fix the knob in place, use an M3x6mm button head screw.
Three versions available:
I've included a short version with a 35mm diameter knob; and a 15mm taller version with a 40mm diameter knob, plus a couple of different styles for the taller one.
My preference is for the taller one, as it clears the top rail and makes it easier to turn.
