X Gantry Jack Stands
Description
I got tired of the gantry sliding down while I was working on the hot end. I do not like to have the printer powered on with the stepper motors engaged while working on the hot end. Especially when working on a fan or heater connection. This "Jack Stand" holds the gantry at 125mm above the bed, giving me plenty of room to work under the X-Carriage, or on the Hot End. So I designed this to hold the gantry in place. I find it very useful. I place it more towards the left near the edge of the bed so it holds all of the weight of the X-Axis Motor, Extruder Motor, and puts less strain on the connection points of the 20x20 x-axis extrusion. It also keeps me from sliding the print head over and smacking the limit switch, which I have done several times and cringed when doing so. This could also be used as a pair for an Ender 3 Series X Gantry Stand Set. Could be used to level the X Gantry on any number of 3D Printers as well. Use your imagination.
