Hey guys,
I'm looking for some tips. When I try to level my printer bed and I twist the thumb screws the whole bolt just twists and it doesn't tighten or loosen. Has anyone encountered this issue. I thought about using some superglue on the spring but I didn't know if that would be a permanent solution.
Thanks
The screws loose grip if they are too loose. Just use your fingers to press the perfboard to the bed a bit and reduce the tension from the screws by that. That way you can turn the screws with loosening or tightening the thing.
You could also start over with tightening all screws and re-level.
Hi Bjorn,
Yes, me too. Almost ruined my finger tips trying to adjust the bed.
I put an M3 nut just under the magnet, inside the spring, on all three screws and it works fine ever since.

Thanks HansL,
Even with the spring fully depressed the bolt would still spin. I was able to adjust the bed for a print but I look forward to trying this in about 6 more hours.
