DaVinci Clip-on Calibrator

thingiverse

This item simplifies Da Vinci 3D printer user calibration by providing a smooth level calibration process for print bed adjustments. Unlike many items available online, this calibrator easily clicks into place without hassle, securely holding the dial gauge and ensuring an accurate measurement of bed height at any point. A customer request inspired the addition of an LED feature, allowing users to manually adjust their printer in darkness or in areas with limited light. As manual calibration requires physical handling of stepper motors, some prefer working without a power supply on hand; in such cases, using this calibrator enables users to position LEDs at optimal levels while calibrating print bed adjustments manually. White LED usage has potential drawbacks, however. Standard CR2032 button cells usually operate within 3-volt limitations while standard white LEDs have an operational voltage requirement of around 3.2 volts; users might notice reduced light intensity, especially when using dual installations.
