Description

The problem: The bed cables, your fingers or basically anything can move those wheels accidentally. The springs are flimsy and to torque them too much can bend the bed.

The solution: Click this in place and lift to release the thumbwheel as needed.
That's as simple as convinient. :)

This provide minimal stress and precise (0,03125mm increment), reliable adjustment.

This was a fun challenge to design a compliant mecanism. I really took time to care for details. I hope you will enjoy this new idea!

PLA ok, PETG or ABS is better.


11/2021: UPDATE:

Back-Left corner is different on the KP3s. I redesigned a completely new part. That's it! ;)
