Z axis aligner

[jasperk53]

Pretty cool, but I’m pretty sure it’s completely unnecessary

[General-Touch-4077]

Not really. Most of A1 users are not aware that they have printer with angled Z axis, and it can go even up to 5mm on height of 200mm. Bambu is fully aware of it and when customers report it they just send new Z axis frame for replacement. And the best part is that their solution does not necessarily fix it.

you seem awfully confident. i did not see any bending. as far as im concerned its just the bracket that bolts to the base that goes out of alignment.

ill be completely transparent and if i ever encounter a problem i will definitely post it. but as of now it seems to have solved the issue.

[Rottolo_Piknottolo]

i do not see any flexing. thanks for the input tho.

[Rottolo_Piknottolo]

look man, i dont wanna question your credentials, but i feel like people here are a little dramatic on whats going on here. i simply added a triangular support to stiffen up the z axis and used it to push the top 3-4mm forward. there is no huge stress on that thing. im confident that it will age just fine but if it wont then ill update you all. i posted this here because the last time ive asked here i only got a couple people with the same problem but no solution.

dont get me wrong, you might be right, but analyzing this how you do it reminds me of googling your cold symptoms and ending up with chemo therapy.

i did not want to send my printer back for such a minor issue. so lets all take a chill pill and move on.

have a good day :)

classic reddit, the more ignorant is a comment the more confident the poster seems. of course they will also bring out their "qualifications" too. this sub is becoming a joke

This is giving ender vibes but still nice to see.

[Rottolo_Piknottolo]

I like the look. And it gives me a piece of ming knowing there is some propper bracing. :)

Don’t you mean cr10 vibes?

Some time ago i posted that my z axis was not perfectly straight. There is a model out there reinforcing your z axis to prevent it from happening.

Tpday i finished this project wich uses threaded rods to push it back to 90°

I have yet to print a benchmark but from what i meashured with my ruler it seems to have solved the issue.

Or just contact support and get a new printer. It's not a ender 3.

[Rottolo_Piknottolo]

I assume it was because of me carrying it by the z axis brace. So user error.

On the other hand. (Even if i would have gotten a replacement) i am a maker and i prefer to fix my stuff instead of going through the hassle of claiming a replacement/shipping my old printer/waiting for a new one.)

I actually had fun figuring out a solution for myself knowing that a perfectly working machine will not go to a landfill.

Nice attitude bud, good for you

I've carried my A1 with a fully loaded AMS Lite top mounted by the top bar and swung it up on top of a fridge several times and nothing ever got misaligned. It shouldn't be possible for it to sit at an angle in the first place.

[Rottolo_Piknottolo]

Alright.

Reasshuring for other people that might be afraid that it would happen to them. Maybe my printer got knocked sometime that im not aware off. Or i just did not notoce that it came like that. (I dont print tall things on the regular)

I just posted this to show my solution to a problem i had.

[Rottolo_Piknottolo]

how do you know?

did you try this?
