Description

Hey,

 

since the cleaning with several paper towels has always annoyed me, I have designed this small but helpful tool.
You just click it into the Lead Screw and move the Z axis completely.
If the lead screws are very dirty, you can repeat the procedure.

The tool fits all printers that have a standard 8mm lead screw installed. So basically with all common 3d printers.

You should print the tool as fine as possible. The highest layer height should be maximum 0.2mm. The finer the part is printed, the better the cleaning effect. Perfect results are achieved with Bambu Lab 0.08mm layer height.

 

Your printer must also be well calibrated so that the tool fits correctly into the lead screw. It is normal that the part must be clicked quite tightly.

 

If you have any questions or suggestions for improvement, please let me know.
