X to Y Axis alignment/leveling tool

<p><strong>This is just a blatant copy/remake of an awesome little tool! Just a tad taller!</strong></p> <p>Original item -<em>(red one in the images)</em><br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:280974">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:280974</a></p> <p>The original was great but for one thing, after I added a glass bed it ended up being shorter than the end stop for the Z axis. SO I made a slightly taller one.</p> <p><strong>Just did a write up and video on use of this tool...</strong><br/> <a href="http://3dprintingllama.blogspot.com/2017/04/square-level-x-and-y-axis-before.html">http://3dprintingllama.blogspot.com/2017/04/square-level-x-and-y-axis-before.html</a></p> <p>what it does- It checks the alignment of the X axis rods to the rods in the Y axis to make sure they are square/level to each other. Use before leveling the bed to get a MUCH better and more accurate leveling.</p> <p>Clip on the Y rods and lower BY HAND the Z down till the X rod just touches, go to other rod on Y axis and adjust..</p> <p><strong>never do this with power, you can severely damage the printer by bending the rods if you use the motors!!.</strong></p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/DYywCMh4U0k"></oembed> </figure> </p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: X axis<br/> Category: 3D Printer Accessories</p>
