Ultimaker axis alignment tool (8mm and 6mm axis)

Description

This Is A Tool That Can Be Used To Align The Axis On An Ultimaker Original / Original+ / Ultimaker 2. Since There Were No Good Tools Online Available I Had To Create One Myself. Result... I Now Seriously Doubt My Internet Search Skills... The Very Few Available Don'T Hold Into Account That You Must Be Able To Reach The Allen Wrench Hole Thingie. That Can Require A Needed Distance Between The Axis Of Roughly 40Mm To 120Mm. (Circumfence Of A 12,22Mm Pully Is 38,39Mm) The Tool Gives You A 79 Dregree Turn From One Position To The Next. So From The Middle To Each Last Positions This Gives You A 41 Degree Shift To Each Side. The Secret Of A Good Alignment Is That You Want To Be Able To Reach Both Pulleys On One Belt At The Same Time. If You Have Difficulty Getting The Pulleys In The Right Position, Watch This Youtube Video: "Reference To Deleted Google Account See Comments" Use This Advice At Your Own Risk ! Added !!!!! I Offered To Refurbish Two Ultimaker 2+ Printers From The Rsg Lingecollege And Made An Extra Tool. Originally I Made This For The Untimaker Original And Serviced One Ultimaker 2 With It, But That Printer Was Still In Good Shape. These On The Other Hand Needed Some Lubrication And That'S Why I Made Another "Tool" For Snapping The Axis Into Place. Notice: When Placing The Axis Check That The Axis Will Trigger The End Switch !!!
