Topic: z offset wing nut

Easier than you might think. Just superglued a wing nut to a longer screw.

Significantly improved access to the z offset, which had been a huge pain for me.

Re: z offset wing nut

I designed this to go over the head of the orginal screw.  It tells how much z moved on small turns.
