2 Part Bed Z Offset Investigation , TAZ rev’d spacers
The Problem: 2 piece Bed system with felt on TAZ had a major deviation in Z due to felt interfering with the Y axis plate.
Test Setup: Data for this test was collected using a digital dial indicator to to sample the flatness of the TAZ 2pt bed print surface and compare it to the same surface with taller spacers . We took 25 sample points in a 5x5 grid pattern on the print surface. This allows us to get a rough image of the flatness of the surface. We ran this test at varying temperatures to see how the surface moves when heated. The test was conducted at 20C, 60C, 110C, and 135C.
Results: The data shows that the spacers improved the bowing of the print surface from 0.729mm max delta to 0.583mm .
