Artillery Sidewinder X1 - "Tyre Gauge" Bed level helper

prusaprinters

Although I use ABL in daily life on both printers, I level my bed from time to time as exact as possible at operating temperature. A very good first layer is very important for bed adhesion and dimensionally accurate prints. I think that in combination there are the best results. The possibilities of ABL are limited. I only use ABL to correct the last bumps and go very well with it. In my opinion, the bed must be accurately levelled in order to be as tension-free as possible even at operating temperature. Therefore I made this small holder for a digital profile depth gauge type "Tyre Gauge". Works great on my PKM8 and now also on the Sidewinder X1. Then you need a M3 grub screw and a rubber band, then you can start... The small cap needs to go onto the measureing sensor to prevent it from scratching the bed. The measurement is pretty accurate, but definitely good for the purpose. The results are reproducible. I operate the X1 without extruder cover. It didn't really fit past the GT2 belt and then I lost my patience. ;) Of course you have to loosen and remove the cover for a short time. Category: 3D Printer Accessories
