It was driving me crazy! So many rabbit holes to chase…from rebuilding the print zone to engineer discussions of load cells! I had to find a solution, no matter how crazy, I’m out of hair to pull out…
Then, in the inky black depths of my despair, came an idea. An often discussed one- as a joke. Well, I was both needing a laugh, and out of warranty, so I tried the nuclear option:
I dismantled a fair bit of my K1M, cleared an area for the event, and took a fu##ing hammer to it! Yup, a 20 oz drywall hatchet that has served me faithfully for 22+ years.
BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM! Maniacal laughter, perhaps a bit of drool…
0.35 mm variance of my printbed (at 50C)
0.41 mm variance @ 70C
0.44mm variance @ 100C
PLEASE don’t do this without extensive mapping of print area, 100% faith in re-assembly, and 9-10 uninterrupted hours to do all the checks, maintenance, and calibrations!
hee-hee-hee…hammer good
