Print Saver Wedge
Description
Notice the edges curling up partway through the print? Forgot a little adhesion helper in a spot? First print with a unfamiliar material or new settings? Use the Print Saver Wedge, to salvage the print. Before printing: * print with a small brim around the object * don't use a skirt higher than the brim * use a magnetic heatbed * have a basic understanding of how and where the printer parts will move during the print * ***Be careful !!*** * pause the printer before placing the wedge * check the progress of the print and pause or stop it if necessary * if there is a risk of the wedge coming in contact with a moving part try to place so that it contact would push it out of the way instead of jamming against something * be ***very careful*** where you place the wedge * it may **cause damage to the printer** if it is in the path of an extruder, bed leveling probe, etc. * the magnet may become attracted to axis rod or other magnetic part Three different wedges included, edge, point and corner. Designed for a magnet with a 10mm diameter and 3 mm height. If you cant find a magnet that will fit, the OpenSCAD file is there for you to modify. Got a bit carried away with using wedges and thought this could be an elegant customizer program, but then got tired and just hacked the OpenSCAD until satisfied with the result. I have used a bit of plastic card and a magnet and figured this would be a quicker and less awkward solution.
