Creality Ender 3 V3 bed leveling knob replacement
A replacement thumbwheel for the bed leveling screws on a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE and KE, Ender 3 V2 and Neo, which use M4 screws with a knurled 34 mm plastic knob that cracks after a few rotations. The wheel is 40 mm in diameter and 10 mm tall with twelve 2 mm scallops around the edge for grip, a pocket for an M4 square nut 7 by 7 by 3.2 mm pressed in from the top with 0.1 mm interference, and a 1 mm chamfer underneath so it clears the bed spring. Print it face down in PETG or ABS at 100 percent infill; the nut pocket needs no supports. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Design a bed leveling knob 40 mm in diameter and 10 mm tall with twelve 2 mm deep scallops around the rim, a central 7 by 7 by 3.2 mm square nut pocket from the top with 0.1 mm interference, a 4.5 mm through hole, a 1 mm bottom chamfer and a 0.5 mm raised arrow on the top face.
Fit notes
Oversized knobs give finer control than the tiny originals, but only if the nut pocket matches your screw. In SpeakCAD you name your Ender model, preview the wheel in the browser, add a hex pocket for an M3 nut in the chat, and download the STL.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
