Tired of your fingers hurting trying to use the stock folgertech thumbwheel for leveling? Try these for smooth as silk adjustments that are much more precise. Once printed take a soldering iron once hot and press the tip into the direct center of the threaded nut as seen in the photos and gently press.. As the nut warms up it will start to slide into the wheel.. once flush dont push any more but keep the heat on for a few more seconds to let the material flow into the knurled edges of the nut... let fully cool ( or put in cold water) before using. The alum nut should be face down when installing back to the printer. I also suggest a flat washer in between the wheel and the bed.
