Snapmaker Carver/Laser Plate Alignment Tool

thingiverse

This tool helps you align your CNC carver or laser engraver medium precisely on the build plate, ensuring it matches up perfectly with the x and y axes of the print head. The usage method varies depending on the thickness of the medium. If the medium is less than 4mm thick, simply place the tool above the clamps for optimal results. To secure this setup, make sure the clamp bolts rest snugly inside the counterbore holes found in the tool. You can also use washers or spacers to elevate the bolt head if needed. Once the medium is aligned and secured, you can remove the tool. However, when working with a thicker medium (over 4mm), place the tool under the clamps instead. It will remain in position throughout the engraving or carving process. Note: A smaller version of this tool has been added, featuring holes that are not as extensive. This design allows it to be printed in one piece on a Snapmaker and is more suitable for use with debris fences.
