3D model description

This will change your life when it comes to precision leveling of your bed.

Youll need to print 2 of the linear rail clips for your x-axis and purchase an MGN12 Linear Rail with a Carrier and then cut it to fit the front of your x-axis (ender 3 series works fine). Be sure to leave a hole on each end that you will screw to the end clips. Put some adhesive on before screwing down the rail.

Note that you move your print head all the way to the right and clip this on to your x-axis extrusion, and i made it to work with or without a linear rail in case you have converted your x-axis to use one.

IMPORTANT: THIS IS DESIGNED TO BE CLIPPED ON AFTER YOU HAVE DISABLED YOUR STEPPERS... DO NOT ENABLE THEM IN ANY WAY WHEN USING THIS TOOL, IT IS MADE TO BE USED WITH ALL STEPPERS OFF AND YOU MANUALLY MOVE THE BED AND SLIDE THE DIAL INDICATOR LEFT AND RIGHT FOR YOUR BED LEVELING. ONCE YOU HAVE POPPED THE "KIT" OFF YOU CAN USE YOUR PRINTER AS NORMAL. I EXPRESSLY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE IF YOU DO NOT USE THIS ONLY WITH YOUR STEPPERS DISABLED.
