About this model
This is a spacer for the Ender 3 z-axis motor. I was getting a bad first layer on my Ender 3 V2 and found my z-axis was jamming slightly, leading to an "elephant foot" effect on my prints. The threaded rod was tilting back along the Y-axis because the motor was too close to the extrusion. This simple spacer solved the problem, so I thought I would share it. This is placed between the vertical aluminum bar/extrusion and the motor mount. The two (M4 I think) motor mount screws pass though it as shown in the photo. You can make a copy of the file at this link and edit to the thickness you need. The STL provided is 0.5mm thick, which was what I needed.
