Anycubic i3 Mega S - Oh nuts!
Hi,
I recently bought an Anycubic i3 Mega S.
I was having an issue with the first layer that a tip from curious aardvark on this thread I started, helped me solve: https://3dprintboard.com/showthread....d=1#post145228
Essentially, I didn't realise that the bed-level needed to be checked frequently, as the vibrations during printing throw it out of whack. curious aardvark suggested locking-nuts, so I designed and print some into which you just need to fit M3 nuts. A good reasonably firm tap with a hammer settles the nut in place. A slightly-too-small hole behind the nut to increase the friction so that vibrations don't shift it. The idea seems to work.
I have attached the STL here in case anyone finds it helpful for their printer.
Cheers
Solved a problem in the short term.
Thanks very much for posting this. Somehow, a wheel became detached from my base and is currently missing presumed thrown away by an over-zealous partner. I printed this on the side which was still levelled and it's secured the back so that I can still print, pending the delivery of a new wheel.
