D.R.O.P.P.E.R. - PINDA Adjustment & Positioning Tool
Description
D.R.O.P.P.E.R. Durable Rapid Object for Painless P.I.N.D.A. Easy Re-Positioning Simply drop your P.I.N.D.A. down onto this tool for the perfect (?) P.I.N.D.A. position. To be honest I don't know if it's the perfect P.I.N.D.A. position, but it works good for me. This was made off of the idea of P.I.N.D.A A.D.J.U.S.T.A by 3DPreviews. I liked that tool, and it worked for me on my old P.I.N.D.A., but I found with the new SUPER P.I.N.D.A., it made my SUPER P.I.N.D.A. too high and I was getting the nozzle catching on the bed. It also includes a MMU parts version if you would like to print this in multi-color on the MMU2S. It has a longer handle so you don't have to get your hands as close to the extruder, and it also has a hole at the end if you want to attach it to a keychain. TWO PRINTING OPTIONS: Print it with 0.20mm layer height if you want the P.I.N.D.A. to be 1mm from the print bed when nozzle is touching bed. Print it with 0.20mm first layer and 0.10mm other layer height if you want the P.I.N.D.A. to be 0.9mm from the print bed when nozzle is touching bed. For comparison, a standard zip tie is about 1.2mm thick. With P.I.N.D.A. closer to the bed, it will have better chance at detecting the bed, and will be less likely to fail the XYZ calibration (nozzle catching on paper or digging into bed). Personally I chose the 0.9mm option; but if your prints warp a lot, 1mm option maybe safer to prevent P.I.N.D.A. from ever catching on warped prints. Usage: Turn off printer, bring nozzle to print bed by hand so the nozzle just touches the bed, as per PRUSA's instructions. Then drop the bottom of the P.I.N.D.A. into the cup, and tighten P.I.N.D.A. screw. Power on printer, and raise up Z-axis so the P.I.N.D.A. is out of the tool. BE SURE TO RE-CALIBRATE LIVE-Z FROM -0.000 BEFORE DOING ANY PRINTS! Feel free to remix this and make a better version! Updated 2/23/2021: Changed an error in the description about layer heights, added pre-sliced gcode files.
