Z knobs and Boom sticks. Z axis manual knob with removable CIWS
Description
As with my other toppers. Same rules apply. THINGIVERSE KEEPS RETURNING A 404 FILE NOT FOUND on the regular download button. If that happens to you, click on the 'thing files' option instead and download from there. https://youtu.be/NuY4At-ktPM Update :- I have redesigned the knob to be both stronger, have slightly more clearance up top and also lock far better than any of my previous versions. Instead of having to add the files to each of my topper designs I have moved them to a separate fileset. It makes things a lot easier for me as I update the outstanding amendments. Actual Z axis screw on components are here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5147667 Version 2 uploaded to replace original. Better detail, stronger build, better gun support/block lugs. Photos still show the first version. Something a little different. Z axis knob for manual control of the lead screw when needed. CIWS top piece is removable. Just lifts off and on when required if you need better control. Elevation is adjustable. The pins to stop it falling too low were too delicate so I redesigned it to have a far stronger lug design. Side panels are marked L and R (as though stood behind the unit). Lugs go to the front. I printed it (using tree supports) without issue. The only supports cura added were for the tops of the mount holes in the main gun unit. You can likely get away without supports altogether. Note:- If you have an extruder that has a knob on top it could foul with this knob on a max height print. Worth checking clearance just in case and removing the extruder knob if you are doing a high print and run this risk. Also be aware that anyone using a stock position filament mount could also have issues with clearance between the knob and the spool/filament. You may need to move things more towards the centre to get good clearance. I use a side feed for my filament and my dual gear extruder has no knob so I have zero issues with it's use. New Easy fit knob version supplied with this set.
