    Elevation Handwheel.

    It's been over a decade since this has been talked about here, but just curious. Has anyone replaced the cheap plastic elevation handwheel with a milled aluminum one and if so where did you source up that handwheel? There was an adapter I seem to recall that would allow us to use D hole style handwheels and I messed up and never got one... This is not a must have but more of a nice to have thing....

    Here is my measured drawing of the handwheel adapter, it would be easy to make one from 3D printing I imagine, not sure how durable but probably OK.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      There are ways to embed metal bits in a print. A simple re-inforcement ring would help.
      Quite a few bits for the BT3000 on there:

      I bring it up since Dave mentioned that he has a 3D printer. I just got started with 3D printing because of solutions like these for the shop. I use the router table on my BT3000, and I wanted new and better rings for the table.

          Cool. Yeah I have that file bookmarked if not downloaded I do not recall presently... I haven't 3D printed in a while, I need to dust it off and dessicate my filament. Probably level the print bed again before I have a go at it again...
