Leveling Tool for Leveling Your X Axis Rods to the Y Axis Rods. These Tools Are Designed to Be Used in Pairs and Can Help Make Life Easier When Adjusting Your Machine's Z Axis. Several Designs Exist to Achieve This Task, But Many of Them Fall Off Easily and Are Meant to Stay Under the Rods as You Adjust, Increasing the Risk of Bending the Rods. To Mitigate This Problem, I Created These Tools with a Curved Shape on the Part That Goes Under the X Axis. For Ease of Use, the Tools Will Lightly Snap Around the Y Axis Rods, Keeping Their Position Secure. To Give Yourself the Best Chance at Not Bending a Rod, You Can Swing the Tool Under the X Axis to Check the Height and Then Move It Out of the Way When Adjusting the X Axis. To Use These Tools, Follow These Steps: 1. Snap the Tools Onto the Y Axis Near the Frame to Avoid Risking Damage to the Y Axis Rods. 2. Raise the Z Axis Above the Tools. 3. Slide the Tools Until They Are Under the X Axis Rods and Then Rotate Them to the Sides So They Are Out of the Way. 4. Bring the Z Axis Down, Swinging the Tool Back and Forth to Check the Height, Until It Makes Contact with the X Axis Rods. 5. Release the Motors to Manually Adjust Each Z Screw Until Both Tools Just Touch the X Axis Rods as You Swing Them Back and Forth. 6. Remember to Not Leave the Tool Directly Under the X Axis Rods as You Adjust the Z Screws, Risking Damage to the Rods. 7. After Your X Axis Is Level, Slide the Tools Back Toward the Frame and Remove Them. These Tools Are Only Compatible with 8mm Rods and Come in Various Lengths for Convenience. If the Tool Snaps Too Tightly Around the Rod, Adjust Your Printing Settings to Achieve a Proper Fit.
