Creality K1[MAX/C] Adjustable Z-Carriage

Disclamer

This design has not be printed and/or tested yet. It's a WIP and i'm sharing it for prototyping hoping that some K1 owners would be interrested in testing and/or contributing to this design.

Update 2024/11/27

The design is built around a dovetailed cinematic with a range of +/- 2mm and a set of screw/spring/nut. If your bed is out of this range, a 1/4th turn of the trapezoidal nut will get it to a closer range by 1.8mm. The markings on each side of the carriage are here to help to minimise the variations

The dovetail probably needs some fine sanding with the [upcoming] tool model provided

To catch the square nut, pause the print at layer 44 and place it in the Z-carriage before proceeding

The Fusion 360 file comes with a set of User Parameters with the most important one being the « dovetail_backlash » parameter. These parameters are here to help with the calibration of your printer using the [upcoming] calibration model provided. Use minor adjustments to prevent abnormal dimensional behaviour of the model as not all the sketches are yet correctly constrained.

Updates coming soon…
