Z Axis Shims
Description
If You Add A Surface (E.G. A Lexan Plate) To Your 3D Printer Bed It Will Cause The Z Axis To Home Incorrectly. For Example A 2Mm Plate Would Cause The Z Home Position To Be 2Mm Below Where It Should Be. This Can Make It Impossible To Adjust The Bed Level Because The Adjustment Screws Operate Across A Finite Range. To Resolve This Problem You Need To Reset The Vertical Z Home Position By An Equivalent Distance. That Can Be Done By Physically Adjusting The Microswitch - Or Using This Thing The Microswitch Can Be Fooled Into Resetting At A Different Height. This Thing Provides Several Shims Which Slip Onto The Back Riser Of The Makerbot 2 Which Triggers The Z Home Microswitch. These Shims May Or May Not Work On Other Clone Printers, It Depends Whether The Clone Offers A Similar Riser To Trigger The Z Home Microswitch.
