Description

This is another version of the previous holder. Previous holder had a tendency to swaying, this is much more precise and works really well! It really can change the height of 0,05 mm. You can stick the scale of the previous project.

Instructions

Print model, correct holes. Knob must stick to the M4 screw before final assembly.

Required:
1x screw M4x40mm
1x M4 nuts
1x M4 washers
1x tube 8mm x 20mm
1x spring (on the tube 8mm)

2x screw M3x20mm
2x M3 nuts
2x M3 washers

After print improve the hole in the arm so that there came 8mm tube, no backlash!
Tube 8mm paste into the body, so that the arm was moving freely, but tight, no slack, no rocking.

this is just what ive been looking for, printed it out with my trusty 1mm nozzle in just under 22 minutes. i substitued a bic pen tube for an 8mm tube, and it works great since it kind of adds some friction. one thing i noticed is that the two walls should be filed flat and smooth if you want to have the most accurate adjustment, other than that its great, espescially since i dont have to take my printer apart at all to install it. ill post a pic soon.

can i use this with a mechanical end stop?
