We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

Spring guides designed to fit the heated bed mounts on the Creality Ender 3 and Ender 3 Pro 3D printers. The guides keep the bed levelling springs upright during compression, preventing them from buckling out of alignment. This reduces how frequently the bed needs to be re-levelled during use. PLA or PETG both offer adequate rigidity for this light-load mechanical application.

Original maker's notes

By LordHotEnd on Thingiverse · CC-BY-SA

*Update* - 02/01/2020 - The spring guide for the cable mount is now compatible with the cable chain mount from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060

*Initial upload* - 01/01/2020

**Note that these guides are designed for springs with an outer diameter of 8mm.**

### Why?
The original compression springs on my Ender 3 Pro print bed mount were buckling.
To ensure that the springs stay in shape while being compressed I made these guides.

### What does it do?
You should end up leveling your bed less often with these.

### Files included:
- Top part
- Bottom part
- Shorter bottom part for the original cable mount / cable chain mount

### Optional hardware:
- 4x nut M4
- 8x washer for M4

### What to print:
- 4x Top guide
- 3x Bottom guide
- 1x Bottom guide for the original cable mount

* Note that if you don't want the thread on the upper guide just print the lower guide 7 times (+1 for the cable mount) instead.*

### Your feedback:
Anything you would change? Just let me know.

Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
