Description
Problem:
The stock heated bed on the Monoprice Maker Select v2.1 (and probably other Wanhao i3 variants) very easily slides around a mm or two in each direction in relation to the Y carriage plate. This causes noticeable layer shifts in the X and Y axis from the slightest bump to the heated bed during printing.
Solution:
These heated bed stabilizers "hug" the bed screws to prevent them from wiggling around in the larger carriage plate holes. The springs and thumbscrews act together to squeeze the stabilizers in a sandwich against the carriage plate, providing enough friction to keep the screws from shifting along the X and Y axis.
Other mods
This Thing is part of a set of mods I've designed for Wanhao i3 and its clones. Collect all five!
