This is part 3 of "Pimp my MakerBot" (see thingiverse.com/thing:973 and thingiverse.com/thing:958 for part 1 & 2 :)

I was tired of dragging on the Z belt multiple times to upper or lower the z stage of my MakerBot.

With this crank mounted on one of the 4 M6 threaded rods, I can now easily adjust the height of my MakerBot.

Instructions

- Print the crank
- Insert a M3 nut and push it way in
- push (or better screw) the crank on one of the 4 threaded rods on your MakerBot
- Use a M3x8mm (or longer...) as set screw to screw it down.
