About this model

#ZKNOB This two piece part replaces and adds to the acrylic stock cover on the Creality CR-10's Z-axis lead screw; It lets you manually control the hot end up and down (when steppers are disabled), which I have found to be VERY handy at times. For example when you're loading filament, stopping a failing print or first layer, you can easily lift the hot end by hand to give you more working space and a better view of the piece. I have now also added a bigger version. This way it takes less spinning to manually up and down the hotend. Easily fluently movable with just one finger.
