Cr10 Z Axis Aligner

thingiverse

Cr10 s z axis aligner, its a simple tool to hold your Z screw in place while you align the stepper motor. Use an X axis bracket to hold the whole x axis level in place, near the bottom of the frame (loads on here) clip this bracket to the top of the frame with the Z screw in it, undo the coupler on the stepper, and bobs your uncle the z screw is straight and square. then you'll see just how out of align your stepper is, you have some left and right movement on the steeper bracket and I've found if you turn the whole stepper 90 degrees it give you some back and forward option, otherwise you'll need a spacer or one of the other stepper brackets on here. then with the bracket still in place you can reattach the coupler safe in the knowledge your screw is in straight and square. This was desgned by me as my z screws kept binding and no matter what I did with standard tools I couldn't get everything lined up straight and true I've included the 3d builder file where you can change the position of the screw and subtract it so it will work on other printers not just the s4/5
