When levelling hotbed in this mod, you are asked to tighten screws 426°, -32°, 168° or any other angle.

This simple jig helps to ease this process and eliminate eternal trial and error guessing the right angle.

Simply attach the arrow to your screwdriver (M3 screw can help fix it to the screwdriver stem), then place scales part over the screw you want to work on. Insert screwdriver into screwhead and align 0° on the scales to match arrow.

Now you have a good reference where how much is that bloody 14° you are requested to turn.

Lines are 10° apart, short lines are 45°, long 90°.

Hope this simple jig will help you avoid headaches. I've designed it after my SiliMod was done...

Happy tightening!

Print instructions

If lazy or have you printer just torn apart installing SiliMod, you can probably help yourself with a piece of cardboard and clothespeg or hairpin as an arrow.

Print scales text side down for better readability.

0.4mm nozzle recommended
0.20 profile works fine
2 perimeters
15% infill is good enough
