The aluminum bed on my PowerSpec3D isn't quite level, so I bought a piece of 1/4" Borosilicate Glass. Then I started reading that the spacer for the FF Creator, wouldn't work on this machine.
Is anyone else out there using a glass bed? What are my options?
I just found a piece of something that was about 1/2"x1/2" by the thickness of the glass plate (mine is 1/8" thick) and used a bit of my trusty dusty Elmer's glue stick to glue it to the spot on the plate where the plate and limit switch make contact. If I ever want to remove it, it'll come off easy enough... :p
Use this shim: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:501020 . I have printed this one and it fits my Powerspec Pro perfectly. I have not installed the glass yet but put everything in place to test fit and it will work just fine.
Immodestly speaking, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:440022 works well.:)
I built that using openscad. The openscad is not very clean, but id does build. For a 1/4" plate I got from FlashForge, I used 8.5 as the 'height' parameter. That was for my original PowerSpec Creator, which had limited adjustment on the bed levelling screws, for some reason. 8.5 gave me a bit more room for adjustment. I used 5.5 for the 1/8" plates I subsequently got from McMaster-Carr.
I'm still using both shims on the PowerSpec 3DPro I now have.
Cheers,
John
EDIT: oops. I didn't see the link to the remix. If that one works better, that's great!
I'll try printing that and seeing how it works out. Thank you.
