Description
this block makes adjusting the Z-level for the printbed endstop more accurate and stable
Instructions:
The stepfile includes the complete assembly for reference!
-Remove Z-endstop
-put in 3 nylock M3 nuts in the block according to the drawing.
-put the switch in the block
-take out the left Z-rod
-drill a hole in the top, you should measure the exact location
-put in a M3 x 30 or longer with a washer, then add a washer + nylock nut from inside to fix the long screw in vertical direction. Tighten until it still turns but not moves up and down.
-screw the switch to the backplate with 2 M3 x 20+2 washers, until it is fixed, but still able to move up and down
-place left Z-rod back
-screw the long M3 in the block to finetune Z-height.

Gijs commented agoYes I believe it had to do with the pins that go into the slots. You can probably also do without the pins, then you don't need to remove the rod.
Florian Horsch commented agoDo you really need to take out the Z rod? Or is is just easier that way?
