Calliper brackets for high precision printer calibration

thingiverse

I devised three brackets that firmly attach my calliper to the Mendel Prism 1.5 frame, enhancing measurement reliability and repeatability. After testing, I discovered the need for a more precise calliper to further calibrate. The calibration process involved running tests on each axis thrice. Kudos to Josef Prusa's reprap calculator! When adjusting esteps, be cautious of overshooting and average the new value with the previous non-overshooting one for accurate results. For a detailed explanation, visit my blog: http://gearforge.blogspot.ca/2014/01/3d-printer-axis-calibration-how-to-do.html. Note that a bracket for attaching the calliper above the extruder is missing; however, customizing your own brackets may be necessary due to printer variations. The purpose of this post is to demonstrate precision calibration techniques, not offer specific solutions for every 3D printer model.
