Dial Gauge Adapter For Taz 3-5
Description
(See Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2699619 For A Taz 6 Version) I Just Created This Dial Gauge Adapter For Leveling The Z Axis (X Carriage Guides) On Taz 3-5 Machines. Makes It A Lot Easier. I Had Been Using A Digital Caliper, But It Was Not Very Accurate And I Was Never Sure If It Was Plumb, Etc. This One Clips Over The Top Guide Rail, And Swings Onto The Lower Rail. There Is A Small Hole For A 1/16" (1.5Mm) Pin, But You Probably Won'T Need To Use It. The Bottom Clip Curves And Tightens As It Engages The Rod. Use 1/4-20 X 1" Or M6 Hardware To Fasten The Dial Gauge To The Adapter. Make Sure To Use Washers To Avoid Crushing And Loosening, And Tighten So It Will Not Move Around In Use. I Used A 1/4-20 X 1" Hex Cap Screw, A Flat Washer, Lock Washer And Nut. This Setup Makes It Easy To Correct Bed Leveling And The Z/X Axis Transport Misalignment. Set Your Nozzle Height To About 5-10Mm Above The Bed. Turn Off The Power So You Can Turn The Z Axis Screws By Hand To Level The X Carriage. Turn The Power Back On And Move Around The Bed To Adjust The Bed Corner Screws. This Helps Even If You Are Using Auto Leveling. Happy Printing!
