Nice design. I'm working with a dial gauge as well.
How did you construct the mechanism to adjust the platform? I use push-in nuts and screws and find it very hard to adjust the bed level properly. A turn of about 10° already makes a huge difference as well as the tension of the corner brackets which squeeze the insulation material between the glass surface and the MDF plate together. Please post a picture. Thanks.

It's not that easy for me to level the heated build platform. I have to remove the clips holding the glass down and then slide the glass over a bit to turn one of the four wood screws that support the glass bed. The insulation is quite lose under the glass so that the clips are just holding the glass in place rather than holding down the insulation. It would be difficult to level the bed with the insulation pushing against it. I've been thinking about rebuilding the X axis, that's why I've not done any work to make the bed levelling easier.  |
