**#ZKNOB**
This two piece part replaces and adds to the acrylic stock cover on the Creality CR-10's Z-axis lead screw; It lets you manually control the hot end up and down (when steppers are disabled), which I have found to be VERY handy at times. For example when you're loading filament, stopping a failing print or first layer, you can easily lift the hot end by hand to give you more working space and a better view of the piece.
Works exactly the same as the [earlier version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2491782) I made, just with a bigger knob. This way it **takes less spinning** to manually up and down the hotend. Easily fluently movable with just one finger. Cover plate is the same as in the original version.

A simple quick and dirty demonstration by me of how the knob works:

If you want to use the ZKNOB on the **Ender 3**, you don't need the cover plate, as the Ender 3 has a loose lead screw. I suggest printing <a href="
