I decided to print some bed leveling knobs with Nyloc nuts for my new Ender 3 as the stock knobs have a tendency to come loose on their own. My normal go to for knobs that I used on my CR-10 were just a little too wide, and the options for the S4 and S5 were too small.
So... I decided to whip up one on my own, and while doing asked myself "Why not make it parametric and upload it for anyone else?". This is the result.
The example model uploaded is 56mm across, and takes an m4 Nyloc nut. As the pitch of a m4 screw is 0.7 mm, I selected to create it with 7 spokes for 0.1 mm of height adjustment per each spoke turned.
Update: Added a m3 version with 10 spokes (same measurement across); m3 screws have a pitch of 0.5mm, so it will have .05mm of height adjustment per each spoke turned.
To customize the bed leveling knob to your personal needs, you need to open the included .f3d file in Fusion 360 and go to Modify>Change Parameters, make your changes, then re-save the .stl file. T
