Reach 3D setup tools
Description
This Is A Set Of Tools To Help Improve The Accuracy Of The Printer. The Z-Axis Square Should Fit Tight In The Slots Of The Base 20X40 Extrusion In Order To Function The Best And Be Printed With The Sloped Face On The Printer Bed. I Used 4 M5 X 8Mm Screws And T-Nuts For This Tool. The Z-Axis Alignment Tool Will Require M3-.5 X 12Mm Screws For The Z-Axis Stepper. The Idea Being That The 3Mm Holes Are Tight On The Motor Mounting Screws Allowing The Tool To Locate The Z-Axis Motor On The Center Of The Z-Axis Extrusion. A Pair Of M5 X 8Mm Screws And T-Nuts Are Required To Secure The Z-Axis Extrusion, And The 2 M5 Screws Going Into The Base Extrusion Will Need To Be Changed Out For 12Mm Long Screws. The Y-Axis Alignment Tool Should Be Printed With The Flat Side Down And Requires No Fasteners, Thought There Is A Hole For A Screw If Permanent Mounting Is Desired. This Tool Goes Between The 2 Plates Mounted On The Base Extrusion To Set The Distance Between The Plates And To Give Something To Square The Y-Axis To. The Z And Y Axis Tools Worked As I Had Hoped. The Z-Axis Square On The Other Hand I Am Not Sure About, Though I Would Have To Think That With Bed Leveling It Would Be Close Enough As It Got My Column To Within .015" Over 13".
