Summary

The Wanhao D9 that I received has 5mm holes in the bed plate where the bed leveling screws pass through. The Bed screws are M3 so they have lots of wiggle room. I made this part and printed in TPU so that it installs in the hole on the bottom side between the bottom plate and the leveling thumbscrew. This takes out any wiggle room and if printed with TPU also helps keep the thumbscrew from shaking loose.

I also found a similar part at the local hardware store so check there also.
