Printer Locks

These are simple locks for all moving parts on the printer, allowing me to transport my printer from location to location without worrying about the gantry moving, the printhead slamming down, the bed sliding around, or anything going out if alignment. Designed for my Tevo Tornado, this should work on all printers this design is based on, such as the Ender series.

This uses M5 T-Nuts (10) and M5x16mm Pan Head Screws (10).

The holes ar emade a bit large, so M6 sets could be used. if anyone needs M8, let me know!

For printers like mine, you will need 4 of the square locks (single screw), two on each side, one top and one bottom. For the printhead, you will need two more square locks, one on each side. For the bed, you will need two of the tower locks (two screws each) one in front and one in back. The tower locks have a groove on the bottom to prevent the belt from being pinched.

All locks can be stored on the frame when not in use. I store mine on the top of the gantry, but
