Messuhrhalter Ultimaker2+ / measure gauge holder Ultimaker2+

thingiverse

This is a measure gauge holder for the Ultimaker2+ suitable for the following gauge: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076CZG6HX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The gauge has a diameter of 57mm, so a comparable gauge with a probe length of 25mm should also work. But FIRST... please be careful. You're working with a G-code file that's tailored to my Ultimaker2+ and the above-mentioned gauge. Therefore, you're taking on all the risk, and I accept no responsibility for it. ALSO very important: every printer will deliver different values. So the provided tables are meant only as a rough guide for a qualitative assessment. But if you're working with a gauge, you can safely assume that you know what you're doing. :-) I created this thing because I finally wanted to optimize my heatbed and discovered that it's completely deformed. Unfortunately. Of course, I've uploaded the STL of the holder along with pictures, two G-code files, and measurement protocols for filling in. In general, you can do the following: 1. Fine-tune your bed level 2. Check the shape of your heatbed for irregularities and deformation How to do it: 1. Print the holder, of course 2. Upload the two G-code files and run them without the holder and gauge, just to be safe 3. If everything works out, fix the holder with the existing fan screws 4. Install the NEOTECK gauge and... 5. optionally, use a matching M4 screw and nut to secure it Now it's time for measurements: Option 1: Bed Leveling * First, open the EXCEL/NUMBERS file * Switch to sheet 3x3 and prepare for entry. Replace the values "0,000" with the actual numbers, starting from top left and working your way down right. * Turn on the gauge (no need to null it) * Load the file "3x3 measuring points.gcode" onto the printer and start it * For each measurement, you have about 5 seconds to read the value and enter it into the table * Then, you'll see in the evaluation (especially the red-marked positions of the adjustment screws) how to adjust the bed. PLEASE NOTE: depending on your existing bed settings, the values will deviate more or less strongly! Therefore, only a qualitative interpretation is possible, but that's enough for leveling! Option 2: Measuring heatbed deformation Here, the grid of measurement points is much finer, and you'll need to concentrate for about 40 minutes. In principle, it's the same as Option 1, except that you'll need the G-code file "23x21 Heatbed contour measuring.gcode". Have fun with this! And I hope there won't be any nasty surprises when measuring your heatbed! If you encounter problems or have questions, feel free to leave a comment. I'm also looking forward to a small "Like"...
