Glass Bed Z-Axis Spacer for CTC & Flashforge Printers

thingiverse

This clamp securely fits behind the z-axis and instantly activates the Z-axis 2.2mm earlier than usual, ensuring timely deployment in fabrication processes. Compatible with replacement glass sheets found at Home Depot's stores, this device effectively combines glass and a leveling tool for print bed purposes. Users can easily prepare their materials by cutting six-inch by nine-inch sheets to desired dimensions, add the z-spacer for stability, and securely clamp them onto a heated bed for quality printing results. However, before beginning any procedure, it is necessary to reduce the height of your print bed five or six times to avoid mechanical collisions, and subsequently calibrate the surface again. Even though this replacement glass isn't made from borosilicate material, slow and even heating processes are usually capable of preventing cracks on its flat surface. This provides a superior result when compared to many existing print beds which sometimes feature warped surfaces that cause difficulties in maintaining uniform results.
