Prusa MK3 Hex Bed Handle

Remix of my original bed handle, this one with some updated clearances for a more snug fit and a hexagonal shaped opening.  Why? Because hexagons are the bestagons.

Simple small profile bed handle for the Prusa MK3.  Great for moving the bed without touching the build surface or getting oils from the skin on the print bed.  Especially helpful for holding the carriage in place while setting the magnetic flex plate in place.  May not be compatible with older style y-carriages.  Compatible carriage shown in images.

Comes in two versions, one that goes in the lower left corner, and one that goes in the lower right corner.  Only one is necessary, so use whichever one is to your preference.

Installation:

• Remove the hex screw and spacer from the lower corner of the y-carriage corresponding to the side you are installing it on.  Place the spacer into the hole in the stem of the handle.  Use a finger to hold the spacer in place and slide the handle onto the carriage so that the spacer ends in its original position.  Reinstall screw.  
  • Disassembly of the bed outside of the previous instructions should not be necessary.
  • As with any modifications to the printer, adjustment to the printer's z-offset may need to be done.
  • The photo instructions above show installation for the right side, just do the same on the other side for the left variant.
