X-axis leveller 10cm high

Same instructions as per the original posting BUT I will add that it would be best to print a matched pair so that one side doesn't try and adjust itself: Customizable X-axis leveling tool designed for Prusa i3 Berlin. Used to ensure each side of the X-axis is at the same height. Essential since there's a stepper motor on each side and they can get out of step. To use: Place "forked" end of tool on Y smooth rod and use Z control to bring the X axis just above the flat part of the top of the tool. Manually rotate the Z rod for that side so the X carriage rod just touches the bottom of the "L" at the top of the tool. Adjust the other side in the same way. Go back and forth to each side a few times to get the X-axis rod level. IMPORTANT: Don't squeeze the tool between the rods by using the Z motor control - this could put pressure on the smooth rods and possibly bend them. Doing the final adjustment by hand works best. I've been using this tool for a while now, and it works pretty well. One improvement would be if it had a hook to hang down from the X-axis rod instead of being squeezed between the X-axis rod and Y-axis rod. Then you could hang one of the tools on each side of the X-axis rod and adjust them at the same time. Customized version of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:280974 Created with Customizer! http://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=280974 UPDATE 18TH JAN 2017, I have had to use these a few times already due to one reason or another, and each time the results have been spot on, saving a lot of hassle by not having to measure the height of one side then the other while adjusting one side. However, with these tools, everything is very clear and easy, also having the 10cm height allows for universal use amongst many Prusa-style printers.
